◌ Aroma

Delicate citrus hop character leads the nose, with subtle notes of lemon zest and light herbal undertones. Soft Malz foundation provides a touch of sweetness without heaviness, and the clean fermentation allows the noble hop profile to express itself clearly. No aggressive aromatic flourishes—instead, a balanced and approachable invitation.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and slightly sweet, with the citrus hop character carrying through the mid-palate without dominating. Mild Malz backbone provides gentle sweetness and body, while 22 IBUs offer restraint and balance rather than assertive bitterness. The finish is dry and clean, leaving space for another sip.

◑ Finish

Short to medium dry finish with fading citrus notes and a clean, slightly herbaceous aftertaste. The low alcohol and restrained IBU count make for an easy, thirst-quenching conclusion.
