Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Amber Pale
◎ Appearance
Deep amber hue with warm copper undertones, reflecting its 12 SRM designation. The beer presents good clarity with a dense, off-white head that clings to the glass with solid retention. Fine carbonation shows as a steady stream of fine bubbles, supporting the formation of lacing.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with resinous pine and herbal notes from the Simcoe and Mosaic hops, layered beneath warm stone fruit—peach and apricot—and bright citrus zest. Beneath the hoppy profile sits rich, biscuited malt that provides sweetness without cloying, inviting deeper inhalation.
◐ Taste
Entry is full and malty, with caramel notes grounding a wave of bitter-citrus hop character. The mid-palate balances nectarous malt depth against the assertive pine and grapefruit finish of the Edelhopfen varieties, with subtle dark fruit undertones adding complexity. Moderate bitterness (30 IBU) sits comfortably within the malty framework, finishing clean without astringency.
◑ Finish
The aftertaste is moderately dry and lingering, with pine resin and candied orange peel fading gradually over two to three minutes. A smooth, warming sensation persists without alcohol heat.
