give way to


Explanation:
I think you could go for the literal translation of "give way to" as it sounds fine here.

Example sentence(s):
  • Full bodied malty flavour gives way to the fruity esters that blend well with hoppiness to finish with a bitter blend
  • The initial burst of Hibiscus flower slowly gives way to the notes of Essence of Orange Flower, Mimosa Absolute, Jasmin Mist, Amber Droplets and Sheer Musk.

if "blend in with" seems OK I would prefer this rendering as it's more dynamic and would reflect the dynamism in the source text

or "merge into"

there you have the dynamic element
