◌ Aroma

The nose leads with clean, bready malt character—toasted grain and subtle sweetness without cloying notes. Noble hop presence is restrained, offering a gentle herbal and spicy backbone that complements rather than dominates the malt foundation.

◐ Taste

Smooth entry with pronounced malt sweetness that anchors the mid-palate. Light spice and herbal notes from the hops provide balanced bitterness without harshness; the 22 IBU sits well behind the generous malt body. Finish is dry and crisp, with no alcohol heat.
