Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Puppendisco

◎ Appearance

Puppendisco presents a hazy, pale golden body with notably turbid clarity characteristic of the West Coast Hazy IPA style. A modest white head forms at the pour and settles into sparse lacing along the glass. The beer maintains a lively carbonation, evident in fine bubbles rising through the cloudy suspension.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced citrus and tropical fruit notes from Citra and Dolcita hops, layered with hints of pine and resinous character from Chinook. Beneath the hop-forward aromatics sits a clean, understated malt backbone that does not compete. A subtle floral quality rounds out the bouquet without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate opens bright and fruity, with grapefruit and stone fruit flavors taking the lead across the mid-palate. Pilsner and Vienna malts provide a light, slightly sweet platform that balances the 60 IBU bitterness, which builds gradually rather than striking harshly. The finish carries a pleasant, lingering hop bite that feels restrained and proportional.

◑ Finish

Bitterness carries through to a clean, refreshing aftertaste with subtle citrus echoes. The beer's moderate 6.8% ABV allows the finish to remain crisp and approachable without warming alcohol notes.

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.
