Tap to rate

Tangerine, coconut, tropical and stone fruit meet bright grapefruit and gentle pine, with subtle cedar and mint underneath, on a velvety mouthfeel. Citra, Mosaic and Ekuanot go in on the hot side and Simcoe and Sabro in the dry hop, over a rich oat and dextrin grist, in this soft hazy pale at 4.8%. Brewed in Hull; all Atom beers are vegan-friendly.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Symbiotic

◎ Appearance

Hazy pale gold with a soft, turbid quality characteristic of the style. The head is pillowy and persistent, clinging to the glass with fine lacing. Bright carbonation animates the body without aggression.

pale goldhazy, velvetypersistent headfine lacing

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with juicy tangerine and stone fruit, followed by tropical notes of coconut and a crisp grapefruit edge. Beneath the citrus sits a gentle pine resin with subtle cedar and mint undertones, lifted by the late-addition and dry-hop character of Citra, Mosaic, Ekuanot and Sabro.

◐ Taste

The palate is soft and approachable, with a velvety mouthfeel derived from oat and dextrin malts. Citrus and tropical fruit dominate the mid-palate, while the 40 IBU delivers a restrained bitterness—bright grapefruit on the bite rather than sharp resin. Stone fruit sweetness and a whisper of herb balance the dryness without cloying.

◑ Finish

Clean, medium-dry finish with lingering stone fruit and a gentle citrus fade. Mint and cedar notes persist softly without becoming astringent.
