Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Genesee 12 Horse Ale
◎ Appearance
This ale presents a bright, clear golden hue with excellent transparency and a clean white head that settles into a thin, persistent collar. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a soft, uniform foam structure with fine lacing on the glass.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with a pronounced bread crust character, warm and inviting with subtle cereal notes from the two-row Malz. A delicate floral undertone emerges, likely from the Yakima Valley hops, adding refinement without dominating the composition.
◐ Taste
The palate opens gently sweet with a soft, malty foundation and a light honey note that carries through the mid-palate. The bitterness remains low and restrained, allowing the subtle fruit notes to develop, before concluding with a clean, dry finish that prevents any cloying sensation.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and moderately dry, with a brief but satisfying aftertaste dominated by light grain character. No sharp edges remain—just a soft fade leaving the palate refreshed.
