◐ Taste

Entry is light-bodied and smooth, allowing the pale malt's gentle sweetness to present first on the palate. The hop bitterness from Sterling and Saphir develops gradually in the mid-palate, balancing rather than dominating. The finish turns dry, with the residual sweetness receding to leave a clean, slightly herbal aftertaste.
