Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for La Maison
◎ Appearance
Pale gold hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass. The carbonation is crisp and visible, creating a lively bead that sustains throughout the pour. The oats and rye contribute subtle body despite the modest 4.5% ABV, resulting in a visually inviting table beer.
◌ Aroma
The wild yeast fermentation expresses itself through pronounced peppery and fruity esters. Guava and citrus notes emerge distinctly on the nose, with a supporting herbaceous character from the 30 IBU contribution. The malt backbone remains restrained, allowing the fermentation character and adjunct spice to define the aromatic profile.
◐ Taste
The palate opens dry and crisp, with guava and citrus flavors immediately apparent. Mid-palate reveals the peppery spice from fermentation layered against a light, oat-and-rye derived softness. The bitterness integrates cleanly without dominance, finishing with a delicate fruity dryness that encourages further sips.
◑ Finish
The finish is crisp and quick, with lingering citrus and pepper notes fading to a refreshingly dry aftertaste. No harsh grip or sweetness remains, leaving the palate ready for another pour.
