Lull

Tap to rate

Ripe, juicy grape, sweet lychee and soft white peach come from one hop alone: New Zealand-grown Nelson Sauvin. This hazy pale ale is small in stature but bold in character at 5.0%, and it rotates through the lineup. Dancing Gnome in Pittsburgh began with hop-forward beers and opened its taproom on October 1, 2016.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Lull

◎ Appearance

Hazy golden-orange hue with a soft, diffuse quality from suspended yeast and hop particles. A modest white head rises quickly and settles to a thin, delicate layer with light lacing around the glass. Fine carbonation creates a gentle, persistent effervescence.

◌ Aroma

Dominated by the distinctive character of Nelson Sauvin hops, delivering ripe white grape skin and fresh lychee notes upfront. A soft white peach note emerges in the mid-ground, supported by subtle stone-fruit florality. Clean fermentation allows the hop aromatics to shine without yeast esters interfering.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy tropical stone fruit, centered on peach and grape notes that carry excellent clarity despite the haze. Moderate bittering from the 40 IBUs arrives mid-palate as a crisp, herbal counterpoint without harshness. The finish is clean and dry, with the fruity hop character lingering through the aftertaste rather than any malt sweetness.

◑ Finish

Short to medium fade with a pleasant, lingering peach and grape note that tapers toward dryness. No sticky sweetness or astringency remains, only a light fruity memory.
