◐ Taste

The palate is fresh and crisp on entry, delivering a gentle malt sweetness that spreads across the mid-palate without becoming cloying. Roasted malt flavors provide body and subtle bread-like complexity. The 22 IBU contributes a measured bitterness that remains restrained, allowing the malt character to remain the focus through to the finish.
