◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent tangerine and citrus notes from the locally grown Georgia Kiss oranges, mingling with a soft, grainy wheat character. Clean fermentation aromas with minimal yeast contribution allow the fruit and grain to shine. The overall effect is bright and accessible, with no harsh phenolics or oxidative notes.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with smooth, pillowy wheat malt sweetness balanced by fresh orange juice character that develops through the mid-palate. Bitterness remains restrained at 18 IBU, playing a supporting role rather than dominating the profile. The body is light and clean, with gentle fruit acidity keeping the beer from becoming cloying or heavy.
