◎ Appearance

Golden-yellow pour with a fine-pored, persistent head that clings delicately to the glass. The unfiltered character creates a naturally cloudy presentation with suspended yeast particles that catch the light. Modest carbonation supports the foam structure without aggression.

◌ Aroma

Summer grain and nut notes lead the nose, complemented by a subtle fruitiness that emerges on closer inspection. Regional organic hops contribute a delicate herbal undertone without aggressive hop character. Soft, clean fermentation character allows the malt and spelt to speak without interference.

◐ Taste

Entry is lightly sweet with a harmonious malt backbone drawn from barley and spelt. Mid-palate develops a delicate bitterness from the organic hops, balanced against the grain's natural softness. Finish remains mild and unobtrusive, with no harshness or thin character despite the minimal alcohol.
