◌ Aroma

The nose opens with subtle citrus notes—lemon zest and light grapefruit—layered over soft grain character from wheat and oats. A gentle Edelhopfen presence provides floral, grassy undertones without dominance. The overall impression is clean and approachable, with no aggressive alcohol or yeast phenolics.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and creamy, the wheat and oat adjuncts creating a soft, almost velvety mouthfeel that defines the beer's appeal. Mid-palate develops subtle malty sweetness balanced by restrained bitterness and light citrus hop notes. The finish remains dry and crisp, with minimal residual sweetness, allowing the grain character to linger gently.
