Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Cali Squeeze Blood Orange
◎ Appearance
A hazy ruby-red pour with a soft, pale tan head that settles to a delicate collar. The cloudiness derives from the hefeweizen yeast and wheat base, creating an inviting, rustic visual presence. Carbonation is gentle and persistent, evident in fine bubbles rising through the glass.
◌ Aroma
Fresh blood orange pulp dominates the nose, backed by zesty citrus notes and a subtle herbal snap from noble hops. The hefeweizen character adds gentle wheat and banana undertones typical of Bavarian yeast fermentation. The aroma remains juicy and fruit-forward without any harsh or fermented edges.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with bright, juicy blood orange fruit that melds seamlessly into a smooth, bready malt foundation of two-row barley and wheat. A light tartness cuts through the mid-palate, enhancing drinkability without astringency. Bitterness remains restrained and refined, allowing the fruit and grain to take centre stage.
◑ Finish
The finish arrives crisp and clean, with the citrus and tartness lingering briefly before fading into a dry, barely bitter aftertaste. No lingering sweetness or cloying residue remains.
