Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Barn Owl No. 3
◎ Appearance
Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with visible lacing. Bright carbonation lifts the beer visibly, creating a lively, effervescent presence that speaks to its farmhouse character.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with honeyed brett character—soft, floral notes layered with gentle funk. Citrus and stone fruit notes emerge underneath, creating an aromatic complexity that is inviting rather than aggressive. There's a subtle tartness present from the start, signaling the mixed fermentation at work.
◐ Taste
The palate opens dry with a pleasing citrus and peach character balanced against a wine-like acidity. The funky brett register moves through the middle, bringing complexity without heaviness, while the sourness remains gentle and conversational. The body stays light and crisp, finishing clean and dry with no cloying sweetness.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and sustained, with lingering acidity and a faint floral aftertaste that echoes the brett character. No harshness—instead, a refined tartness that invites another sip.
