Carbonation is moderate and even, supporting the beer's visual structure without excessive effervescence.
◌ Aroma
The nose combines floral and citrus hop character with a noticeable earthiness that grounds the bouquet. Warm caramel and biscuit notes from the malz backbone emerge beneath, creating a layered aromatic profile. The balance favours hop expression without any harsh or metallic edge.
◐ Taste
Entry is smooth and round, with caramel-forward malz character establishing the mid-palate. Floral and citrus hop flavours develop gradually alongside a subtle stone fruit note, while earthy undertones provide ballast. A clean, moderate bitterness arrives on the finish without drying or astringency, leaving the palate refreshed.
◑ Finish
The finish is medium in length, with lingering citrus and earthy hop notes fading gracefully. A subtle fruitiness persists in the aftertaste alongside gentle, warming caramel notes.
