Taste

Smooth entry with clean, grainy malt sweetness that builds gently across the palate. Mid-palate remains light and crisp with restrained bitterness (16 IBU) providing just enough balance without assertiveness. The finish transitions seamlessly from malty sweetness to a dry, refreshing conclusion.
