Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for City of Dreams

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with pronounced haze throughout, characteristic of the style. The dense, creamy head builds quickly and holds with fine Schaumkleiden down the glass. Bright carbonation is evident from persistent fine bubbles rising through the cloudy body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent tropical stone fruit and citrus notes driven by Citra, Mosaic, Azacca, and Huell Melon hops. Beneath the vibrant hop profile sits a soft, wheaten maltiness that adds body and roundness without demanding attention. Subtle fruity esters from the juice yeast enhance the overall brightness without introducing spice or funk.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and approachable, with tropical and orange-forward hop character unfolding across the mid-palate. The wheat contributes a smooth, full mouthfeel that balances the 40 IBU bitterness, which arrives as a measured, herbal finish rather than a sharp bite. Fruity notes persist throughout without cloying, and the overall impression remains juicy and refreshing.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering citrus and stone fruit notes fading gracefully. Residual sweetness from the malt supports the hop character without leaving heaviness.
