◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft, wheaten grain forward character accented by distinct fresh blueberry fruit notes. Subtle bready undertones sit beneath, with a light herbal Edelhopfen backdrop that prevents the beer from becoming cloying. The fruit aroma is fresh without artificiality.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and lightly fruited, with blueberry character appearing in the mid-palate alongside earthy wheaten malt base. The 35 IBU provides modest bitterness and a drying quality without harshness. The finish is crisp and dry, with the fruit fading to reveal a clean grain base and balanced herbal hop character.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
