Aroma

Taste

The palate opens with a light, crisp entry enhanced by the wheat's soft, grainy foundation that rounds the body beautifully. Mid-palate delivers concentrated citrus and fruit flavors balanced by moderate hop bitterness (25 IBU), maintaining drinkability without aggressive bite. A light, dry character persists through the palate without stripping minerality, creating a clean and refreshing sensation.
