◐ Taste

Entry is light and refreshing with immediate tropical fruit impression balanced against restrained hop bitterness. Mid-palate develops a dry minerality enhanced by added enzymes, maintaining crisp acidity without body or warmth. Bittering is moderate and clean, finishing dry with lingering peach and citrus notes that remain pleasant rather than assertive.
