◐ Taste

The palate is quick to develop, spreading across the mouth with pronounced malt presence that carries the caramel and subtle fruit character into the mid-palate. A finely woven bitterness emerges to balance the malt sweetness, keeping the beer from becoming cloying. The structure remains tight and harmonious throughout.
