Momentum

Tap to rate

Citrus, passion fruit and peach come through on a velvety-smooth texture with almost no bitterness, soft and juicy. Momentum is a showcase for two hops, Citra and Galaxy, in a 4.5% hazy pale made from barley and wheat, vegan-friendly. Atom's can code draws a wide central circle for lighter beers and shrinks it as ABV rises.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Momentum

◎ Appearance

Momentum presents a hazy golden-amber body with a soft, diffuse appearance typical of the New England style. The head rises quickly with a delicate, cream-colored foam that settles into a thin, persistent collar. Carbonation is gentle and even throughout, creating a slightly cloudy suspension from the wheat component.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical fruit esters—passion fruit and peach dominate—layered over clean citrus zest from the Citra hop. Galaxy contributes an underlying stone-fruit minerality without any harsh or resinous edges. A subtle, soft maltiness from the barley-wheat blend provides a sweet foundation that balances the fruit-forward character.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and juicy, with stone fruit and citrus flavors arriving immediately on a pillowy mouthfeel. Mid-palate develops a gentle, velvety texture that carries the tropical and peach notes through cleanly, with minimal astringency or harsh bitterness despite the 40 IBU. The low alcohol allows the hop character to shine without any alcohol warmth, finishing clean and refreshing.

◑ Finish
