◌ Aroma

Clean and restrained on the nose, with a soft malt foundation offering subtle grain sweetness and a hint of bread crust.

◐ Taste

The palate opens smooth and well-integrated, with a light malt body providing subtle sweetness that never becomes cloying. The bitterness is gentle yet defined, arriving mid-palate with a refined Edelhopfen character that contributes herbal and slightly peppery qualities. The finish remains crisp and clean, with good balance between residual malt and hop bitterness.
