The nose leads with clean, distinctive Kazbek hop character—herbal and slightly spicy—balanced by the softer, floral notes of Žatec semi-early red hops. Beneath lies a subtle malt foundation, offering a light breadiness without heaviness. No yeast-driven esters or off-notes; the overall impression is crisp and inviting.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and malty, with a gentle sweetness from Pilsner malt that establishes body without becoming cloying. Mid-palate develops a pronounced, firm bitterness from the hop blend, delivering structure and definition. The finish remains dry and hoppy, with noble-hop complexity that lingers pleasantly without harshness.
