Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Bent
◎ Appearance
Pale golden hue, brilliantly clear and bright. The head forms with brisk carbonation and settles to a thin, wispy collar with minimal lacing. The beer presents a clean, uncluttered visual profile that reflects its deliberately stripped-back design.
◌ Aroma
The nose is subdued and restrained, as befits a beer where Strata is used with deliberate restraint. Light, delicate notes of passionfruit and berry emerge softly over a dry, grainy malz foundation. The overall impression is clean and refreshing, with no aggressive hop character or adjunct notes.
◐ Taste
Entry is crisp and clean, with a thin body that emphasizes drinkability over mouthfeel. The mid-palate shows dry, cereal-forward malz character with restrained fruity undertones from the Strata hop. Bitterness registers distinctly on the palate without lingering, providing structure without dominance.
◑ Finish
Short and decisive, with the bitterness fading quickly into a bone-dry aftertaste. The finish reinforces the beer's lean, refreshing character with no lingering sweetness or hop residue.

What is a Pale Lager?
Euro Pale Lagers are clean, refreshing lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 10–25. Soft malt sweetness, light hop bitterness and high carbonation make them supremely drinkable.
