Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Cosmic Cattle

Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with a persistent haze arising from unfiltered yeast suspension. The head is stable and creamy, leaving delicate lacing on the glass. Fine carbonation supports a soft, pillowy presentation throughout.

Aroma

Tropical and stone fruit forward, with prominent notes of ripe peach and mango. European noble hops contribute a soft, herbal undertone without aggressive floral intensity. The yeast-derived cloudiness adds subtle notes of apricot and citrus zest.

Juicy and full on entry with immediate tropical fruit presence and gentle bitterness. The mid-palate is smooth and creamy, with balanced hoppy character and subtle stone fruit sweetness. Moderate 50 IBU bitterness integrates smoothly without harsh edges.
