Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Funky Buddha Floridian

Appearance

A pale golden hue with exceptional clarity and bright light transmission. The head forms quickly from vigorous carbonation and shows fine, persistent lacing that clings to the glass walls. Fine bubbles rise steadily, indicating high carbonation typical of the style.

Aroma

The nose is delicate and inviting, leading with soft noble hop character and subtle citrus notes. Light bready and grainy Malz undertones emerge underneath, creating a clean, approachable aromatic profile without aggression or heavy adjunct character.

Taste

The palate opens with light Malz sweetness and a gentle, refined hop bitterness that never dominates. Mid-palate displays crisp acidity balanced against faint bready notes, while the finish remains clean and mineral-driven. The carbonation amplifies the refreshing quality throughout.
