Green barley dominates the nose, presenting fresh herbal and slightly grassy notes. A soft Pilsner malt character emerges beneath, with restrained noble hop aromatics lending subtle spice and floral undertones. The bouquet is clean and inviting without harshness.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced bitterness balanced by light malty sweetness and a distinctive grainy character from the green barley. Mid-palate shows clean, crisp malt backbone with herbaceous edges and a whisper of bread crust. Bitterness persists throughout without becoming astringent.
