◌ Aroma

The nose leads with delicate floral and herbal notes characteristic of noble hops—Tettnang, Hallertau, Spalt, and Saaz blend into a refined, understated bouquet. Beneath the hop profile, a soft malty foundation emerges with subtle grainy and bready undertones. The overall impression is crisp and inviting, with no harsh or coarse elements.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a light, balanced malt sweetness from Pilsner grain, providing body without heaviness. Noble hop bitterness unfolds gradually across the mid-palate, arriving at 15 IBUs—enough to frame the beer without overwhelming. The finish dries cleanly, with lingering hop character and a mineral, slightly spicy aftertaste that bridges back to the malt.
