◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and smooth, with the wheat and oat base delivering a mild, bready sweetness reminiscent of crust and fermented grain. Mid-palate shows restrained bitterness (55 IBU) that frames rather than dominates, allowing tropical and citrus hop flavours to persist. The finish is clean and dry without astringency.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
