◐ Taste

The palate enters with rich, malty sweetness that develops into toasted grain and roasted nut flavours through the mid-palate. The low bitterness (22 IBU) allows the malt character to dominate while German hops provide subtle herbal and citrus accents. The beer drinks smoothly and cleanly, with good balance between malt depth and restrained hop bitterness.
