Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for IPA - Pink

◎ Appearance

A pale straw to light golden hue characteristic of the style, with pronounced haze from suspension through the beer. The head forms with modest volume and persists gently, leaving fine lacing on the glass. Carbonation appears moderate and evenly distributed.

◌ Aroma

Ripe mango dominates the nose, layered with stone fruit and tropical notes from Nelson Sauvin and Azacca. A subtle white wine character emerges beneath, reminiscent of gooseberry skin and herbaceous green notes. The overall aromatic profile is juicy and modern, with restrained floral undertones typical of contemporary hazy IPA design.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright mango and stone fruit driven by the hop blend, followed by gentle herbaceous and floral notes in the mid-palate. The Mosaic hop variety adds subtle spice and complexity. Bitterness is moderate at 50 IBU, present but integrated rather than dominant, allowing the fruit-forward character to remain central. Body is light to medium, finishing clean without harshness.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
