◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with restrained malt sweetness and a grainy wheat foundation. Mid-palate develops gentle citrus bitterness and a crisp, refreshing character without heaviness. The finish carries moderate bitterness that complements rather than dominates, maintaining balance throughout.
