Very dry and assertively bitter.
The malt sets the frame and lets the hops carry the flavour.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Fernson IPA
◎ Appearance
Light golden-amber hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation visible throughout. The head forms quickly and exhibits good retention, leaving a delicate lace pattern on the glass as you drink.
◌ Aroma
Tropical and citrus notes dominate the nose, with bright grapefruit and passionfruit character from the hop blend. Subtle floral and herbal undertones emerge beneath, supported by a clean malt foundation that does not compete with the aromatic profile.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with a crisp citrus entry that transitions into ripe tropical fruit in the mid-palate. A moderate bitterness builds gradually and finishes clean, creating balance between the hop intensity and underlying malted grain sweetness without astringency.
◑ Finish
The finish is dry and lingering, with residual hop bitterness and a faint herbal note that sustains for several seconds. No harsh tannins or aftertaste roughness—the fade is smooth and inviting.
