Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Tavern Beer
◎ Appearance
Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a bright, effervescent character. The head forms quickly and recedes to a thin, persistent collar with good lacing retention. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, typical of a crisp lager.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with pronounced pine and citrus notes from the Simcoe hops, an assertive choice for a lager of this profile. Beneath the hop character lies a soft, clean malt foundation with a light grain sweetness. The Bavarian lager yeast contributes a neutral, fruity undertone that allows the hop aromatics to remain in sharp focus.
◐ Taste
Entry is smooth and light-bodied, with the Simcoe hop character asserting itself immediately as pine and subtle citrus zest. The mid-palate remains clean and refreshing, lacking heavy malt sweetness or residual sugar. Bitterness builds gradually and finishes moderate, complementing rather than dominating the overall impression.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and dry, with lingering citrus and pine notes fading to a pleasant, slightly herbal aftertaste. The overall impression is refreshing and drinkable, without cloying sweetness or sharp edges.

What is a Lager?
Euro Pale Lagers are clean, refreshing lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 10–25. Soft malt sweetness, light hop bitterness and high carbonation make them supremely drinkable.
