Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Oktillion

◎ Appearance

Light amber in the glass with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the sides with good lacing. The carbonation is moderate and even, creating a steady stream of small bubbles that sustains the foam throughout the drinking experience.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft, grainy malt character—bready and inviting without heaviness. European malt complexity underlies the bouquet, while a delicate ester note edges toward stone fruit and subtle banana. Noble hop spice provides restrained floral support without dominating the malt-forward profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and clean, with a smooth, malty mid-section that avoids residual sweetness through dry attenuation. Biscuity, toasty notes develop alongside gentle caramel undertones. The 20 IBU bitterness provides structural balance without assertiveness, maintaining the beer's approachable, sessionable character.

◑ Finish

The finish remains dry and clean, with the banana ester note becoming more apparent as the beer warms. The aftertaste lingers briefly with a hint of grain and spice, never cloying, inviting another sip.
