Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Touch Grass

Appearance

Touch Grass presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and fine, persistent head retention. The carbonation is lively, visible as a steady stream of small bubbles rising through the glass, with delicate lacing that clings to the walls with each sip.

pale goldenbright clarityfine carbonation

Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—lime zest and lemongrass—arising from the interplay of Hallertauer Mittelfrüh and Motueka hops. Beneath lies a subtle, clean malt backbone that provides gentle support without dominating, while the noble hop character brings a refined, herbaceous dimension.

Taste

The palate opens crisp and light, with citrusy hop flavors unfolding across the mid-palate in a grassy, refreshing wave. Bitterness is moderate and well-integrated, never harsh, while a lean malt structure keeps the beer dry and balanced. The all-barley malt bill contributes subtle smoothness without sweetness.
