◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and approachable, with prominent wheat grain character balanced by gentle fruity sweetness from fermentation. Mid-palate reveals subtle caramel and bread notes, while the 12 IBU provides restrained, clean bitterness that does not dominate. The finish remains dry and crisp, with the citrus hops lending a light, refreshing drying sensation.

Serve at 5–8°C

Serve cold at 7–10°C. The hazy wheat base and fresh yeast character shine when the beer is crisp and cold.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink within 4–6 months. Wheat beers are designed to be fresh — the yeast character diminishes with age.
