The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Shred Betty
◎ Appearance
Shred Betty presents a pale golden hue with a soft, persistent haze that catches the light with an inviting cloudiness. The head builds moderately and holds with visible retention, leaving fine lacing on the glass walls. Carbonation appears well-integrated, creating a lively but controlled fizz that complements the beer's smooth body.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with vibrant stone fruit and tropical notes—passionfruit and mango dominate the profile with supporting grapefruit undertones. Mosaic, Citra and Simcoe work in concert to deliver a juicy, aromatic character without aggressive herbal or piney edges. The tropical yeast strain adds subtle fruitiness that enhances rather than masks the hop-driven bouquet.
◐ Taste
Entry is smooth and approachable, with fruit-forward flavors mirroring the aroma—mango and passionfruit sit comfortably on the palate. Mid-palate maintains sweetness and juiciness while the rolled oats and wheat contribute a silky mouthfeel. Bitterness emerges firmer than expected at 47 IBUs, providing structure and preventing the fruit from overwhelming; the finish dries progressively, leaving a clean, slightly astringent aftertaste.
◑ Finish
The finish is dry and lingering, with bitterness asserting itself after the initial fruit sweetness fades. A refreshing mineral quality persists in the aftertaste, inviting another sip without heaviness or cloying residue.
