Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Be Silly

◎ Appearance

A hazy blonde with a pale straw colour and soft cloudiness from the yeast suspension. The head forms quickly but settles to a thin collar with modest lacing on the glass. Carbonation is moderate and steady, typical of a lager scaled down to near-zero alcohol.

◌ Aroma

Citrus and tropical fruit dominate the nose, with fresh lemon zest and hints of pineapple and stone fruit leading. Below sits a gentle herbaceous hop presence with light floral notes, underpinned by soft, clean malt sweetness that does not overwhelm.

◐ Taste

The palate opens light and crisp, with citrus acidity and tropical notes mirroring the aroma. Mid-palate shows a delicate balance of hop bitterness and subtle malt character, neither assertive nor hollow. The finish carries a dry, hoppy bite without harshness, typical of the style.

◑ Finish

Short to medium finish with a lingering dry quality and faint hop resin on the palate. The aftertaste remains clean and refreshing, with no cloying sweetness or alcohol warmth.
