The nose leads with delicate fruity-malty notes from carefully selected Magnum and Perle hops grown in the Mühlviertel region. Floral spice emerges as a secondary layer, alongside subtle honey and herbal undertones that suggest noble-hop character without aggression.

◐ Taste

Entry is refreshingly malty with clean grain character that builds through the mid-palate. Moderate bitterness from the Edelhopfen provides balance without dominating; the finish leans toward noble-hop spiciness and a whisper of herbal dryness. The overall profile remains approachable and food-friendly.
