Tasting Notes

Appearance: Straw yellow to pale gold—light and elegant, with minimal caramel coloring.

Nose: Grain, honey, and soft yeast spice. Hints of mint, pear juice, and lemon zest. Subtle floral tones—heather, rosewater, and a touch of green malt

Palate: Mild and round, slightly thin at first but opens with air. Notes of salty spice, smoky malt, toffee, and caramel. Accents of mint, dark chocolate, leather, and parsley leaf. A whisper of forest herbs and After Eight mint

Finish: Medium length, creamy and herbal. Lingering notes of cocoa, oak, and dried herbs. Balanced and clean, with a soft fade
