Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hazy Standard
◎ Appearance
Pale straw color with a distinctly hazy, opaque character from suspended yeast and wheat adjuncts. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with evident persistence, leaving fine lacing on each sip. Carbonation is moderate and evenly distributed throughout the pour.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with bright citrus—lemon zest and orange peel—followed by tropical stone fruit notes of peach and passionfruit from the late hop additions. A soft, grainy undertone emerges from the wheat and rolled oats, while the house yeast contributes gentle fruity esters that add complexity without sharp phenolic notes.
◐ Taste
Entry is clean and fruity, with peach and citrus settling across the palate. Mid-palate reveals a soft, pillowy body supported by the oat and wheat foundation—never cloying, always approachable. Bitterness at 30 IBU arrives firmer than the 3.5% ABV might suggest, providing grip and preventing any drift toward sweetness.
◑ Finish
The finish is dry and refreshing, with residual citrus and peach notes fading into a faint grainy dryness. Aftertaste holds a light, pleasant bitterness that encourages the next sip.
