◐ Taste

The palate is round and approachable, with pronounced malt sweetness and a harmonious blend of dark fruit—plum and raisin—alongside caramel undertones. Bitterness is restrained at 28 IBU, providing balance rather than assertion, while American hops add a clean, crisp edge to the malt-forward profile.
