Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Doppler Effect

◎ Appearance

A hazy pale golden body with fine suspended particles creating a soft, cloudy matrix throughout. The head is pillowy and persistent, with good retention and tight lacing on the glass. Carbonation is moderate and steady, supporting the beer's approachable, sessionable character.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright lime zest and white grape notes from Motueka and Nelson hops, followed by ripe tropical fruit—pineapple, passionfruit, and stone fruit blend seamlessly. Riwaka SubZero Kief contributes an intense passionfruit intensity and subtle dank, herbal undertones that add complexity without dominating the composition.

◐ Taste

The palate is smooth and juicy, with citrus punch delivering a crisp entry that flows into soft, fruity mid-palate. Tropical flavours—passionfruit, white peach, and citrus—coat the mouth without harshness. The 40 IBU bitterness sits gently beneath the fruit, providing structure and balance rather than asserting itself aggressively.
