Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant citrus and lemon zest notes that immediately signal the hop-forward nature of this interpretation. Classic weizen esters of banana and clove emerge beneath, complemented by delicate floral hop character and herbal spice. A subtle honey sweetness rounds out the aromatic profile without overwhelming the bright, fresh character.
