◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced tartness and natural lemon acidity, balanced by a subtle residual sweetness from the cane sugar. Mild hop bitterness (10 IBU) recedes into the background, allowing citrus and fruit to occupy the foreground. The body is light and crisp, with no harsh edges or astringency.
