◐ Taste

Entry is clean and slightly dry, with the hop bitterness (22 IBU) arriving early and remaining present throughout without harshness. Mid-palate shows a lean body balanced by restrained malt sweetness and a fruity hop character that echoes the nose. The finish is dry and refreshing, allowing the noble hop profile to linger without heaviness.

The aftertaste is crisp and moderately persistent, with the dry-hop character fading gracefully into a clean, mineral-like dryness. Despite the absence of alcohol, the beer maintains flavor presence and does not collapse into flatness.
