◐ Taste

The palate opens clean and smooth, with mango and grapefruit flavors mirroring the aroma while berry notes emerge in the mid-palate. A weich, well-developed malt base balances the hop-forward character without heaviness. Bitterness sits at a moderate, clean level — present enough to frame the hops but never sharp or lingering.
