◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and clean with modest malt sweetness that quickly gives way to a pleasant, well-balanced bitterness. Mid-palate remains dry and refreshing, with the hop character providing a gentle spice that does not overpower. The finish is smooth-drinking and quenching, with a slight peppery bite.
