◌ Aroma

Delicate and refined nose with soft malt sweetness at the forefront, featuring subtle grainy and bready notes characteristic of traditional Swabian brewing. Understated noble hop character provides gentle floral and herbal undertones without dominating, creating a balanced and inviting bouquet.

◐ Taste

Clean entry with a light, crisp malt sweetness that drives the mid-palate, supported by subtle grain and bread flavors. Low bitterness (18 IBU) keeps the palate refreshing rather than aggressive, allowing the smooth, delicate hop character to complement rather than overpower.
