Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Paradiso

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing down the glass. The carbonation is visible as a steady stream of fine bubbles, lending a bright and inviting visual presence characteristic of well-attenuated spontaneous fermentation.

◌ Aroma

Pineapple and ripe guava dominate the nose, supported by subtle tropical stone-fruit notes and a light funkiness from mixed-culture fermentation. The aromatic profile remains fruit-forward and accessible, with only faint winey or vinous undertones typical of wild yeasts, avoiding sharp acetic notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright pineapple character that transitions into a full guava mid-palate, developing toward tart cherry on the back end. Acidity is the dominant structural element—crisp and clean rather than harsh—while the 5.5% ABV remains unobtrusive, allowing the fruit and fermentation complexity to lead.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and crisp, with residual tart cherry notes lingering pleasantly without sweetness. Carbonation aids the clean departure, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for the next sip.
