Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Cashmere Single Hop
◎ Appearance
Pale golden yellow with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A fine, persistent white head forms and clings to the glass walls with visible lacing. Carbonation is evident and well-integrated, lending the beer a lively, inviting presence.
◌ Aroma
The nose is dominated by fresh tropical stone fruits—pineapple and mango—alongside distinct melon and grapefruit notes. A gentle coconut undertone rounds the profile, with a whisper of white pepper and spice adding complexity. The character is bright and summery, with the Cashmere hop expressing itself in a refined, restrained manner.
◐ Taste
Entry is clean and crisp, with tropical fruit continuing from the nose into the mid-palate. The Malz backbone remains soft and understated, allowing hop character to lead without overwhelming. Bitterness is smooth and measured at 40 IBU, creating structure without harshness, while the low 4.5% ABV keeps the beer light and quenching throughout.
◑ Finish
The finish is dry and relatively short, with residual tropical notes fading gracefully into a gentle herbal-spice echo. No astringency remains, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for the next sip.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Cashmere Single Hop
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
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.
