◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes, particularly lemon zest, layered over a soft grainy Malz character. Noble hops contribute subtle floral and herbal undertones that support the citrus without asserting dominance. The overall aromatic profile is clean and straightforward, with minimal yeast-derived esters.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a crisp, refreshing citrus bite that carries through the mid-palate with balanced grainy sweetness. Bitterness is restrained (12 IBU), allowing the clean lager character and light malt body to define the drinking experience. The finish is dry and bracing, with the lemony character lingering without any harsh edges.

◑ Finish
