◐ Taste

Entry brings immediate hop bitterness balanced by a moderate malt sweetness. Mid-palate develops citrus and floral hop flavors at a moderate intensity, supported by a clean, well-integrated Malz backbone. At 38 IBU, the bitterness is present but restrained, allowing both hop character and malt to coexist without either dominating the palate.
