◌ Aroma

The nose opens with subtle malty sweetness and light bready notes from the Pilsner base. Noble hops contribute a gentle herbal and slightly spicy undertone, while the astragalus extract adds a soft, herbaceous complexity that distinguishes this from standard Czech lagers. Overall impression remains clean and inviting, without aggressive florality.

◐ Taste

The palate is crisp and light, with a clean malty foundation that supports a delicate noble-hop bitterness. The astragalus extract emerges mid-palate as a gentle herbal note with slight mineral qualities, adding dimension without dominating. Bitterness is restrained at 22 IBU, remaining in balance with the subtle malt character and the beer's overall approachability.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and medium in length, with the herbal notes from the astragalus lingering briefly before fading. A subtle mineral dryness persists, leaving the palate refreshed rather than heavy.
