Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Ectogasm
◎ Appearance
Hazy golden-yellow with substantial cloudiness from suspended yeast and protein. A thick, persistent head forms and clings to the glass walls with fine lacing. Moderate carbonation pushes a gentle visual effervescence throughout.
◌ Aroma
Tropical fruit dominates the nose—mango, passion fruit, and papaya leap forward from Citra and Mosaic hops. A subtle floral undertone adds brightness, while soft, grainy malt provides a clean base without competing for attention. The overall impression is juicy and inviting rather than aggressively aromatic.
◐ Taste
The palate opens soft and creamy, with tropical fruit flavors—particularly citrus and stone fruit—developing across the mid-palate. Bitterness remains restrained at 45 IBU, allowing sweetness and fruit character to hold center stage. The mouthfeel is smooth and full-bodied without heaviness, finishing clean with lingering tropical notes.
◑ Finish
Medium-length finish with tropical fruit and light malt sweetness fading gradually. No harsh bitterness or astringency—the aftertaste remains clean and refreshing.

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