Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Anthem
◎ Appearance
Anthem presents a bright golden-amber hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation visible throughout. The head forms with good initial volume and displays solid retention, laying down a persistent collar of fine lacing around the glass.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with assertive citrus and tropical fruit notes from a generous dry-hop—think grapefruit, orange zest, and distant stone fruit. Beneath sits a resinous, pine-forward character that adds herbal depth without overwhelming the brighter top notes.
◐ Taste
Entry is clean and crisp, with citrus intensity carrying into the mid-palate before a firm, resinous bitterness establishes itself. The malt backbone remains lean and supporting rather than assertive, allowing the hop character to dominate while maintaining balance and preventing harshness.
◑ Finish
The finish is dry and crisp, with lingering resinous bitterness fading to a clean, slightly piney aftertaste. No sweetness remains, leaving the palate fresh and ready for the next sip.
