Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Amanda

◎ Appearance

Amanda presents a pale, luminous straw colour with a naturally hazy appearance from the dry-hopping process. The head is fine and persistent, with delicate Schaumhaftung that clings lightly to the glass. The cloudiness is deliberate and integral to the style, arising from the cold-hop treatment rather than yeast suspension.

◌ Aroma

The Mosaic cold hopping delivers a bright, multi-layered nose: mandarin and lime zest lead, followed by green gooseberry and honeydew melon in the mid-ground. Subtle pear and honey notes emerge on closer inspection, while Hallertauer Tradition adds a restrained herbal foundation. The overall impression is crisp and fruity rather than aggressively herbal.

◐ Taste

The palate is lean and refreshing, with citrus and stone fruit driving the entry. The mid-palate remains dry and mineral-forward, allowing the hop character to define the experience without overwhelming the slender malt body. Hallertauer Tradition contributes a fine, measured bitterness that resolves cleanly rather than lingering harshly.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with the bitterness fading to leave a trace of lime and pear. The aftertaste is refreshing and free of harshness, inviting another sip.
