◐ Taste

The palate opens with gentle caramel sweetness and bready malt, followed by a mild honey character that unfolds smoothly across the mid-palate. Soft Edelpilz hop notes provide low bitterness and a touch of herbal balance. The mouthfeel remains smooth and approachable throughout, with restrained carbonation accentuating rather than dominating.
