◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright, vinous sourness layered beneath subtle oak character from extended wood aging. Underneath lie delicate pale malt notes and a faint herbal quality that suggests minimal noble hop influence. The overall impression is dry and refreshing, with no fruity esters dominating.

◐ Taste

On entry, a sharp sour bite commands the palate, followed by a lean, dry mid-palate where oak tannins provide subtle structure without heaviness. The low IBU count keeps bitterness minimal and in the background, allowing the fermentation-derived acidity and wood influence to drive the flavor profile. The finish amplifies the tart, puckering quality with a clean, mineral-like dryness.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and short to medium, with lingering sourness and a faint wooden dryness that persists without astringency. The aftertaste remains clean and refreshing, inviting another sip.
