Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Little Ray
◎ Appearance
Little Ray presents a pale yellow hue that borders on opaque, with a matt surface characteristic of the hazy IPA style. The body appears soft and diffuse through the glass, with a fine, persistent head that leaves delicate lacing on the side. Carbonation appears moderate, befitting the approachable 5.2% ABV.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with bright tropical stone fruit—pineapple and mango dominate the front, supported by a gentle agave sweetness. Beneath this fruit-forward profile lie secondary citrus notes of orange with a whisper of coconut, grounding the aromatic profile in the Galaxy and El Dorado hop blend. The yeast and grain base remain discreet, allowing the hop character to shine.
◐ Taste
On the palate, the oat and wheat base delivers a soft, creamy mouthfeel that frames the moderate bitterness cleanly. The tropical and citrus notes continue through the mid-palate with juicy intensity, while the IBU remains restrained at 23, avoiding any harsh edges. The body feels full without heaviness, with a smooth, refreshing character throughout.
◑ Finish
The finish concludes with a gentle sweetness rather than drying out, leaving a pleasant lingering note of mango and citrus. The aftertaste remains clean and approachable, inviting another sip without fatigue.
