◐ Taste

Entry is light and smooth, allowing the malt and hops to express themselves without heaviness. The mid-palate reveals a pleasant dryness with bready malt character balancing the gentle noble-hop bitterness. Bitterness remains restrained at 8 IBU, never aggressive, finishing with a clean, mineral-like quality from the Black Forest spring water.
