Aroma

The nose is understated and clean, dominated by soft grain character with subtle wheat and bready notes. Hop aromatics are minimal, limited to a faint herbal whisper with no floral or fruity esters. The overall impression is of a malt-forward, unobstructed cereal sweetness with no yeast-derived complexity.
