Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Gentse Gek
◎ Appearance
Pale golden with pronounced haze from suspended yeast and protein, creating a cloudy, opaque body. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass in fine layers, leaving persistent lacing with each sip. Bright carbonation is evident throughout the pour.
◌ Aroma
Tropical stone fruit and citrus jump immediately—mango, passion fruit, and grapefruit zest dominate the nose. Noble hops provide herbal and slightly resinous undertones without harshness. The unfiltered character brings a subtle yeasty softness that rounds the overall profile.
◐ Taste
Entry is juicy and smooth, with tropical fruit flavors blooming across the mid-palate. Moderate bitterness from the 50 IBUs sits comfortably in the background, supporting rather than dominating. The body remains light and clean, allowing the hop character to shine without astringency.
◑ Finish
The finish is refreshing and relatively short, fading to a dry, slightly citrus-tinged aftertaste. No lingering harshness or oxidative notes.
