◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent tropical mango notes—ripe, juicy, and forward on the attack. Beneath the fruit lies a gentle wheat character, soft and bready, alongside subtle yeast-driven esters that enhance the fruity impression without dominating. A light, clean aromatic profile with no harsh hop bite.

◐ Taste

Mango flavor leads the palate with sweetness and natural fruit character, balanced by the inherent softness of wheat malt. The body is light and smooth, allowing the fruit to shine without heaviness. Bitterness is minimal and well-integrated, never assertive, leaving room for the refreshing, thirst-quenching quality to emerge.
