◐ Taste

Entry is tart and juicy, with berry flavors at the forefront and a bracing acidity that cuts cleanly across the palate. The mid-palate develops a honeyed complexity alongside persistent tartness, while the menthol chill becomes more pronounced, creating a frost-like sensation. Oats and malted barley provide a subtle grainy backbone that supports without overwhelming the fruit-forward character.
