AI-generated sensory profile for Bow & Arrow Scenic West Hazy IPA

Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by tropical and citrus notes, offering vibrant aromas of mango, pineapple, and grapefruit. Subtle floral and herbal undertones provide complexity without overwhelming the fruit-forward character. The aromatic profile is clean and bright, with no harsh alcohol burn despite the balanced ABV.
