◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and dry, with soft bready malt sweetness that carries through the mid-palate without heaviness. Gentle hop bitterness arrives mid-way, assertive enough to balance the malt foundation but never dominating. The finish dries cleanly with lingering grain and a light herbal note.

◑ Finish
