Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Carrie Furnace

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with a soft, diffuse haze throughout the body, characteristic of the style. The head is modest and creamy, settling to a thin collar with steady lacing down the glass. Carbonation appears lively but not aggressive, contributing to the approachable, juicy character.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe stone fruit—juicy peach and apricot—layered beneath a bright tropical medley of mango and pineapple. Noble hops emerge as a supporting frame, offering citrus zest and subtle pine without dominating. A soft, clean note from the yeast rounds the profile, allowing the fruit and hops to remain in focus.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with the promised peach character, carried forward by a juicy, fruit-forward mid-palate that balances tropical and citrus notes. Bitterness is restrained at 50 IBU, acting as a gentle counterpoint rather than a dominant force, allowing the creamy mouthfeel to provide structure. The finish is dry without harshness, leaving a pleasant fruity fade.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
