Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Frontier
◎ Appearance
Frontier pours a bright gold with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass. The lively carbonation is evident from the steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the clear body. The overall impression is one of crisp, inviting clarity with good foam retention.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with prominent citrus notes—lemon and grapefruit—alongside passion fruit and melon character. New World hop varieties dominate, contributing a light spiciness that adds complexity without overwhelming the profile. A subtle, clean malt base supports the aromatic structure, allowing the fruit and hop character to lead.
◐ Taste
The palate entry is dry and clean, with the carbonation delivering a sherbet-like tingle that heightens the sense of refreshment. The body remains light and spritzy throughout, with hop bitterness measured at 25 IBU—restrained enough to allow fruit notes to persist. The mid-palate shows good balance between the hop character and a delicate, slightly sweet malt foundation.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and refreshing, with a lingering biscuit note from the malt that grounds the experience. Hop fruit fades gently into the background, leaving a dry, crisp aftertaste with subtle grain character.
