◐ Taste

The palate opens with a clean, crisp malt foundation accented by light bread and grain character. Mid-palate maintains good body and develops a gentle but persistent bitterness from noble Edelhopfen, rising to a modest 22 IBU. The finish transitions smoothly from malty warmth into a dry, mineral-driven conclusion.
