◌ Aroma

The nose leads with distinct tropical fruit notes—ripe pineapple and coconut come forward prominently, supported by a subtle creamy sweetness. Beneath these adjuncts lies a soft, biscuity Malz character that grounds the profile without asserting dominance. No aggressive hop bite is present; the overall impression remains light and inviting.
