Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for 13° Saturn In

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a bright, white head that settles to a fine lacing around the glass. The carbonation is lively and persistent, creating a steady stream of fine bubbles that maintain the foam's structure throughout the tasting.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by clean, noble-hop character with subtle herbal and floral notes typical of Saturn hops. A light, bready malt base supports the aromatic profile without overwhelming it, while the overall impression remains crisp and inviting, free from any yeast-derived funkiness.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a smooth, lightly bready malt foundation that transitions into a moderate, measured bitterness from the noble hops. Mid-palate reveals a crisp, refreshing character with balanced hop-derived spice and a touch of grain sweetness, all delivered with remarkable smoothness and no harsh edges.
