Taste

The palate opens with a clean, mineral entry and a pronounced but refined bitterness from Saaz that lingers through the mid-palate. The malt provides a dry, understated foundation that allows the herbal and spicy hop character to remain in focus. The finish is markedly dry and refreshing, with no residual sweetness.
