Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Bad Flash Black Currant Pink Pepper

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and fine carbonation. The head is modest but persistent, clinging to the glass rim with delicate lacing. The wine-like brightness reflects the beer's light body and restrained fermentation profile.

◌ Aroma

Black currant leads the nose with ripe, slightly tart berry character. A whisper of pink pepper emerges underneath, adding subtle spice without dominating. The overall impression remains bright and fruity, with minimal malt contribution and clean fermentation notes.

◐ Taste

Pronounced sourness frames the palate, supported by authentic black currant tartness that unfolds steadily from entry through mid-palate. Pink pepper introduces a gentle warmth and a faint tingle on the tongue, complementing rather than overpowering the fruit. Low bitterness keeps the experience refreshing and drinkable.
