Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Flying Jenny
◎ Appearance
Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A fine, persistent white head forms and clings to the glass with visible lacing as you drink. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, conveying the beer's crisp character from the first visual impression.
◌ Aroma
Noble hops dominate the nose with a pronounced floral and herbal snap characteristic of Saaz and similar Edelhopfen varieties. Below that, a subtle mineral undertone emerges, grounded by a clean, restrained malt foundation. The yeast works invisibly—there is no fruity ester character or oxidative note, only the precise, dry-hopped clarity expected from a lager-fermented Pilsner.
◐ Taste
Entry is crisp and dry, with a sharp hop bite that immediately commands the palate without overwhelming it. The mid-palate reveals subtle citrus and herbal notes that support the noble-hop character, while a light malt sweetness provides balance and body. Bitterness is moderate and refined—22 IBU expressed with precision rather than punch—and fades cleanly into the finish without any astringency or rough edges.
◑ Finish
The finish is dry and lingering, with the hop bitterness persisting gently on the palate. A mineral crispness carries through, leaving the mouth refreshed and eager for the next sip rather than coated or heavy.
