Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing with a smooth, malty foundation that distinguishes this from standard pilsners. The mid-palate reveals a slightly fuller body with bread-like grain sweetness balanced by low, restrained bitterness (20 IBU). The overall character is clean and dry, finishing with a light, dry snap that prevents any cloying sensation.
