◐ Taste

The palate opens with fruit-driven sweetness from the apple base, supported by gentle pie spice warmth that builds through the mid-palate. Low bitterness allows the fruit and spice character to dominate; the finish remains smooth and refreshing rather than complex. A light malt backbone provides structure without asserting grain-based flavors.
