Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Cap Blanc
◎ Appearance
Cap Blanc presents a bright straw yellow hue that catches the light with clarity and vibrancy. A creamy white head forms at the pour and clings to the glass with good persistence, leaving delicate lacing on the walls. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, suggesting a refined level of conditioning.
◌ Aroma
The nose is dominated by a vibrant citrus character, with grapefruit and lime leading the charge and blending seamlessly with subtle floral undertones. Pine resin from the noble hops adds depth and a resinous backbone to the bouquet. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, with no harsh or oxidized notes.
◐ Taste
The palate opens clean and bright, with citrus notes carrying through from the nose. A medium-high bitterness unfolds in the mid-palate, though wrapped in a silky texture that prevents any astringency or harshness. The mouthfeel remains refreshing and less dry than typical for the style, allowing the fruity character to shine.
◑ Finish
The finish is crisp and fruity, with lingering citrus notes fading gracefully into a clean, dry aftertaste. The refreshing character persists through the exit, leaving no heavy residue.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Cap Blanc
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
