Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for St-Feuillien Belgian Coast IPA
◎ Appearance
Pours a dark gold with orange glints that catch the light, revealing good clarity beneath. A firm white head forms and clings to the glass with solid retention, leaving distinct lacing as the beer descends. Carbonation appears lively and well-integrated.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with pronounced hop character across multiple dimensions: bright citrus notes of grapefruit and tangerine, floral accents, fresh herbal undertones, and a subtle resinous quality. Beneath the hop intensity lies a restrained Malz foundation that grounds the composition without competing for attention.
◐ Taste
Hop flavours dominate the palate with layered complexity—grapefruit zest and tangerine flesh in the entry, lemon peel and fresh herbs through the mid-palate, finishing with pine resin notes. The bitterness is intense and multifaceted, with varied hop compounds creating sustained but balanced drying. Malz sweetness provides just enough counterpoint to prevent harshness.
◑ Finish
The finish is dry and lingering, with hop bitterness and resinous notes persisting on the palate. A subtle citrus zest and herbal warmth remain as the aftertaste fades gradually.
