◐ Taste

Entry is clean and smooth, with fruity sweetness and malty depth establishing themselves on the mid-palate without cloyingness. Bitterness remains restrained, allowing the base malt and fruit character to dominate. A faintly peppery, warming sensation builds gradually, driven by the 6.5% ABV, giving the finish a dry, almost spicy edge.
