◌ Aroma

The nose leads with a refined noble-hop character that speaks to the use of premium aroma varieties, supported by subtle floral and herbal notes. Behind this emerges a gentle bready maltiness from the Waldviertel Landkorn base, providing a soft foundation without overwhelming the delicate hop profile. The overall impression is clean and inviting, with no sulfur or off-aromas.

◐ Taste

The palate opens smooth and crisp, with the hop bitterness integrating seamlessly rather than asserting dominance—18 IBU ensures an elegant restraint. The malty middle provides a light, slightly sweet frame that balances the noble-hop notes without creating heaviness. The finish remains dry and clean, allowing the hop character to linger without astringency.
