Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for SUPER 8 Cherry

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head. The carbonation is lively and visible, creating a delicate foam that clings to the glass in fine arcs. Light catches the liquid cleanly, highlighting its pale golden character.

◌ Aroma

Cherry juice dominates the bouquet, presenting as fresh and jammy without artificial sharpness, grounded by subtle wheat malt sweetness in the background. The fruit forward character is balanced by a faint floral and grain-derived softness. No sharp fermentation notes intrude; the overall impression is clean and inviting.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with immediate cherry fruit presence, naturally sweet but not cloying. Wheat malt provides a soft, slightly grainy body that supports rather than overwhelms the fruit character. Bitterness is restrained (18 IBU), allowing the fruit and malt to interact freely without astringency or finish harshness.

◑ Finish

Clean and brief, with the cherry and malt fading evenly into a lightly sweet aftertaste. The finish leaves the palate refreshed rather than heavily coated, making this a sessionable drink.
