◐ Taste

The palate is full-bodied and malty from the first sip, with a soft, bread-like sweetness that sits comfortably on the tongue. Mid-palate reveals a gentle spice quality and a fine, grainy minerality that keeps the beer from becoming cloying. Bitterness remains discreet, offering only a light balancing edge without dominating the finish.
