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 MC³
◎ Appearance
Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, luminous quality. The head forms thick and persistent, with strong adhesion that leaves distinct lacing down the glass. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a visibly active pour.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with vibrant citrus and tropical fruit, dominated by bright orange zest and pronounced mango notes. Melon undertones weave through the aroma, creating a fruit-forward profile that demonstrates the intensity of the triple dry-hopping regimen. A subtle floral Edelhopfen character supports the fruity expression without overwhelming it.
◐ Taste
The palate enters with bold citrus and mango sweetness, followed by a dense, hop-saturated body that coats the tongue with resinous intensity. Mid-palate brings assertive bitterness balanced by pithy grapefruit and a subtle bittering character. The finish reveals underlying sweetness tempered by hop astringency, preventing cloying despite the 10% alcohol.
◑ Finish
The finish is lengthy and dry, with lingering grapefruit pith and herbal hop notes that persist on the palate. Alcohol warmth integrates smoothly into the drying sensation, leaving a clean, hop-driven aftertaste.
