Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale
◎ Appearance
Pale golden hue with bright clarity and excellent transparency. A dense white head forms on the pour with fine, persistent bubbles that leave distinct lacing on the glass. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated throughout.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with clean, crisp grain notes underscored by subtle citrus and light floral hints. Edelhopfen character is restrained but present, suggesting a blend of noble and mild bittering varieties. Soft Malz sweetness rounds the profile without any yeast or adjunct aromas.
◐ Taste
Entry is light and refreshing, with bread-forward malt sweetness balanced by gentle Edelhopfen bitterness. Mid-palate remains smooth and crisp, with citrus and grain moving in parallel without dominance. Bitterness is measured at 22 IBU — sufficient for definition but far below contemporary IPA intensity.
◑ Finish
The finish is dry and clean, fading to a lingering grain sweetness with a whisper of hop resins. Aftertaste remains refreshing and crisp, inviting immediate repetition.
