Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Alphabet IPA
◎ Appearance
Golden amber body with bright clarity and a fine white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass. Carbonation is evident and well-integrated, supporting steady head retention throughout the pour.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with pronounced tropical fruit—mango and passionfruit—layered over bright citrus peel and a resinous hop presence. Subtle background notes of pale malz provide a clean, understated foundation without dominating the hop character.
◐ Taste
Entry is crisp and clean, with tropical and citrus flavors taking center stage on the mid-palate. Hop bitterness builds progressively without harshness, balancing the slight fruity sweetness and finishing with a dry, assertive bite that lingers.
◑ Finish
The finish is refreshing and linear, with hop bitterness holding firm through the aftertaste. No lingering sweetness—just a clean, pleasantly dry conclusion that invites another sip.
