Very dry and assertively bitter.
A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Dagger Falls IPA
◎ Appearance
Bright golden-amber hue with excellent clarity and vibrant translucence. A dense, ivory head builds readily and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is crisp and active, creating a lively bead that sustains throughout the drinking experience.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with bright citrus—orange zest and grapefruit pith—layered with tropical stone fruit character reminiscent of ripe peach and apricot. Noble hop character dominates the profile without astringency, backed by a light, clean malt base that provides subtle sweet grain undertones without interfering with the hop expression.
◐ Taste
Entry is clean and crisp, with immediate citrus and peach flavors that evolve across the mid-palate into broader tropical fruit complexity. A balanced, measured bitterness develops steadily, with resinous hop bite that crescendos without overwhelming the fruit-driven character. The finish is dry and clean, with lingering hop bitterness and a slight mineral edge.
◑ Finish
Medium finish with a clean, lingering hop bitterness that persists without harshness. The aftertaste remains crisp and dry, with fading citrus notes and a mineral dryness that invites the next sip.
