◐ Taste

The palate opens with a light, crisp entry and a dry malt foundation that carries through the mid-palate without sweetness. Bitterness is minimal and well-integrated, allowing the clean grain character to dominate. A faint citric thread runs underneath, adding dimension without assertiveness.
