◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced caramel and honey notes, supported by a soft, grainy Malz character. Behind these primary aromas sits a subtle nuttiness and a faint toasted grain undertone. Noble hop character is restrained, offering only the gentlest herbal suggestion without asserting itself.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with malty sweetness and caramel richness, moving seamlessly into a smooth, honeyed mid-palate. Subtle nutty and toasted grain notes add depth without heaviness. Bitterness is minimal at 22 IBU, present enough to frame the malt rather than challenge it, finishing clean and approachable.
