Floral malt, with a hint of caramel and baking bread, subtle sweetness reminiscent of honeyed cereal, distinct grain character, and a hint of oak spice.

Drying notes of cinnamon and oak spice, smooth and uncomplicated, offering a light, almost watery texture with a touch of grain, a mild vanilla sweetness, and a quick, potent character.
