Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Dragonfly Flavour Explosion

◎ Appearance

Brilliant golden hue with excellent clarity and luminosity. A dense, cream-colored head forms readily and clings to the glass with strong lacing as the beer is consumed. Fine carbonation creates persistent visual vibrancy throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

An assertive aromatic profile dominated by seven complementary hop varieties. Tropical stone fruits—mango and passion fruit—rise prominently above layers of citrus: lime zest and grapefruit pith. Underneath, earthy pine and subtle resinous notes anchor the composition, with a clean, minimal malt foundation allowing the hops to command the nose.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with vibrant citrus character—lime and grapefruit—immediately followed by juicy tropical fruit notes that evolve across the mid-palate. A pronounced bitterness builds steadily, supported by dry, piney resin that persists without harshness. The malt backbone remains clean and restrained, serving as a neutral platform for hop expression.

◑ Finish

A long, drying finish dominated by resinous bitterness and lingering citrus notes. The aftertaste remains hoppy and slightly woody, gradually fading to a clean, refreshing conclusion.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
