◌ Aroma

The nose opens with warm, inviting malt character underpinned by a distinct honey sweetness. A subtle bready note emerges alongside gentle yeast esters that add complexity without domination. Noble hops remain restrained, allowing the malt foundation and fermentation character to occupy the foreground.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and malty with a clean, honeyed sweetness that develops into biscuity depth from the Honey Biscuit malt. Mid-palate remains smooth and full-bodied without heaviness, with the yeast contributing a pleasant fermentation note. Bitterness is minimal at 17 IBU, allowing malt sweetness and breadiness to lead through to a balanced finish.
