Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for El Repaso

Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A modest white head forms and recedes quickly, leaving minimal lacing on the glass. Carbonation is visible as a steady stream of fine bubbles.

Aroma

The nose is restrained and clean, offering subtle malt sweetness with soft cereal and bread grain notes. A hint of mineral water and delicate noble hop character provide gentle background structure without asserting themselves. No yeast esters or adjuncts dominate.

Taste

Entry is dry and lightweight, with mild malt sweetness that builds briefly through the mid-palate. Bitterness is very low, allowing the clean malt body and subtle bread character to remain central. The palate stays smooth and uncluttered, finishing with only trace mineral notes.
