◌ Aroma

A layered nose unfolds with prominent forest berry and stone fruit character, moving toward fresh exotic fruit notes. Subtle wheat grain and spelt malt provide a mild, earthy base without dominating. Top fermentation yields clean ale yeast character, allowing the fruit and cereal notes to develop clearly.
