◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and medium-bodied, with caramel malt sweetness taking the forefront. The mid-palate fills with toasty, slightly honeyed character and a faint smoky undertone that lingers without becoming harsh. Low bitterness (20 IBU) allows the malt to shine, finishing clean and balanced.
