Taste

The palate is remarkably smooth and creamy, with a malty grain-forward foundation that carries subtle wheat sweetness and bread character. Mid-palate develops elegant spice and banana notes, while the modest bitterness (18 IBU) provides balance without dominating, showcasing excellent restraint.
