◐ Taste

The palate enters smooth and fruit-forward, with tropical stone fruit and citrus pith developing across the mid-palate. Bitterness is restrained at 23 IBU—present enough to structure the beer without dominating—while gentle Malz sweetness provides body. Oat flakes contribute a silky mouthfeel.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with citrus and tropical notes lingering briefly before fading to a dry, crisp aftertaste. The low alcohol (4.8% ABV) allows the hop character to exit gracefully without warming.
