Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Living in a Bubble

◎ Appearance

Living in a Bubble presents a hazy, golden-amber body characteristic of its style. The cloudiness stems from suspension through yeast and grain composition rather than settling. A modest, persistent head forms and clings to the glass with moderate retention.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright tropical fruit—mango and pineapple dominate, layered beneath citrus and grapefruit notes. Beneath the fruit sits a resinous, herbaceous hop character that carries into subtle cereal and grain undertones from the malt bill.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and creamy, the oat and wheat malts providing a full, rounded mouthfeel. Tropical and citrus notes persist through the mid-palate before transitioning to a marked bitterness—grapefruit peel and resin edge forward, with a clean, dry finish that lingers moderately.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
