◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced plum sweetness balanced by a light, refreshing body. Dark fruit flavors develop through the mid-palate, layering naturally without artificial character. Bitterness remains restrained at 10 IBU, allowing the fruit and malt to dominate while maintaining enough structure for drinkability.
