Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Beretta
◎ Appearance
Red amber hue catches the light with clarity and depth. The head forms softly and recedes to a thin collar, leaving delicate lacing along the glass. Carbonation is restrained, appropriate to the style's traditional character.
◌ Aroma
Crystal malts lead with warm toffee and biscuit notes, followed by a whisper of dried fruit. English hops contribute an earthy, herbal profile—grounded and mineral-forward rather than citrus-driven. The nose is inviting without intensity, balanced and approachable.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with malty sweetness—caramel and toast—then pivots decisively toward dry bitterness mid-palate. English hop character dominates the center, delivering earthy and herbal flavors that sit cleanly on the tongue. Body is medium and smooth, the soft carbonation allowing flavors to unfold without prickle.
◑ Finish
The beer closes dry and hop-driven, caramel fading quickly into memory. Bitterness persists pleasantly without harshness, inviting another sip.
