Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Squamish Sunset
◎ Appearance
A pale golden blonde with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass in delicate lacing. The beer shows bright, clean carbonation and a translucent quality that reveals its light body without appearing thin or watery.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with ripe peach and sherbet candy notes, sweet and slightly powdery on the approach. Behind this fruit-forward profile sits gentle herbal character from the rooibos tea, with a subtle woody undertone from barrel contact that adds complexity without dominating.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with gentle sweetness before revealing a distinctive nutty quality—particularly hazelnut—alongside dry tea tannins that provide structure. Minimal hop bitterness allows the berry and fruit notes to carry the mid-palate, while soft oak complements the malt backbone without overwhelming the delicate balance.
◑ Finish
The finish is dry and brief, with tea tannin providing the primary grip rather than hop astringency. The aftertaste lingers with subtle hazelnut and a clean, refreshing fade.
