Suds

Tap to rate

Suds is a hazy pale ale brewed with oats, which give it a smooth, rounded body the brewery calls pillowy. The house yeast is used to push the fruit character, and the result is bright tropical and citrus notes over a soft, silky base. The hopping is deliberately focused rather than broad, leaving a balanced, refreshing beer with a gentle haze and an easy finish.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Suds

◎ Appearance

Suds presents a soft golden hue with a gentle haze that diffuses light evenly throughout the glass. The head is modest but stable, with fine Schaumhaftung that laces the glass with delicate, persistent trails. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, contributing to the beer's approachable, pillowy character.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical fruit—mango and passionfruit—layered over crisp citrus notes of grapefruit and lemon zest. The house yeast amplifies these fruit esters without overshadowing a subtle, rounded maltiness that grounds the aroma in softness. Noble hops add a gentle, refined herbal frame without assertive floral punch.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a silky, oat-derived softness that immediately establishes the beer's signature texture. Tropical and citrus flavors carry through the mid-palate with clarity and balance, while the 40 IBUs provide a measured, gentle bitterness that never dominates. The finish is dry but not austere, allowing the fruit character to linger without harshness.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is clean and brief, fading to a dry, refreshing conclusion with faint citrus memory. Suds leaves no cloying sweetness—just a gentle, encouraging return to the next sip.
