◐ Taste
Crisp entry with bright, light body and smooth malt sweetness that evokes fresh bread. Mid-palate remains dry and clean with minimal bitterness (10 IBU), delivering exactly what an everyday lager should: refreshing simplicity without complexity.
◑ Finish
Clean, dry finish with no lingering sweetness or bitterness. The effervescence carries through to the end, leaving a refreshing aftertaste that invites another sip.
