A pale, luminous golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, inviting presentation. Fine carbonation creates a delicate white head that settles to a thin lacing. The light body is evident in the glass, showcasing the beer's refreshing wheat character.

◐ Taste
Entry is crisp and refreshing with lemongrass leading the flavor charge, supported by light citrus notes and a smooth wheat base. The mid-palate remains clean and balanced with gentle spice notes that enhance rather than dominate, finishing with a notably dry and clean conclusion.

The finish is dry and remarkably clean with no lingering bitterness, allowing the lemongrass character to fade gracefully. A refreshing clarity remains on the palate, inviting another sip.
