Taste

Crisp entry with bright citrus and tropical fruit flavors that define the palate, supported by clean grain and malt sweetness. Mid-palate remains light and refreshing with balanced bitterness (22 IBUs) that integrates seamlessly rather than dominating. Smooth, dry finish prevents any cloying character while maintaining excellent flavor clarity throughout.
