◐ Taste

Entry brings immediate hop bitterness balanced by the spicy warmth of rye malt. The mid-palate expands with citrus and herbal complexity, while a dry, grainy texture from the rye maintains structure throughout. The 60 IBU provides assertive but integrated bitterness that lingers without harshness.
