Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Warm golden straw; bright, clear, light-bodied appearance with slender legs
Nose
Fresh pear, subtle oak, creamy toffee and a hint of butterscotch. Delicate floral notes with light malty sweetness
Palate
Characteristic freshness — orchard fruits (green apple, pear), cream, malt, and subtle oakiness. Butterscotch and light citrus. Elegant and approachable
Finish
Medium-length finish. Clean, fresh, and subtly sweet with lingering pear and light oak dryness. Gentle malt warmth fades gracefully
