◐ Taste
The palate enters with a smooth, balanced interplay of light malt sweetness and restrained hop bitterness. Mid-palate reveals the delicate grainy character of the Gäuboden barley malt, while the Hallertauer and Hersbrucker hops maintain a clean, crisp framework without aggression. The finish remains light and refreshing, with mild, lingering bitterness.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and extends with a subtle noble-hop dryness. A gentle malty sweetness persists into the aftertaste, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.
