Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Cold Splash

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with a light amber undertone, reflecting its moderate caramel malt base and cool fermentation. The natural carbonation creates a fine, persistent bead that clings to the glass with delicate white lacing. Unfiltered clarity shows suspended yeast sediment, characteristic of the brewery's house style, lending a subtle haze to the light transmission.

◌ Aroma

Citra and Mosaic hops deliver a bright citrus-forward profile—grapefruit zest and mandarin peel dominate the nose, supported by a herbal undertone from Idaho 7. The cool fermentation suppresses fruity esters, allowing the noble hop character to remain crisp and defined. A whisper of biscuit Malz supports the composition without competing for attention.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright grapefruit and stone fruit notes from the hop bill, immediately backed by a moderate bitter character that builds steadily through the mid-palate. The clean fermentation profile and moderate body allow the 55 IBU to express themselves with precision—grassy and herbal notes follow the citrus lead. The finish carries a dry, lingering bitterness without harshness or astringency.

◑ Finish

A crisp, medium-length finish with grapefruit skin tannins and a gentle herbal fade. The natural carbonation accentuates the clean aftertaste, leaving a refreshing citrus prickle on the palate.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
