Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Le Petit Poisson
◎ Appearance
Amber hue with bright clarity and a fine, persistent head. The can-conditioning produces a champagne-like effervescence that sustains excellent lacing on the glass. The carbonation is visibly lively and refined.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with earthy and leathery notes from the brettanomyces fermentation, underpinned by herbal Cascade and Sonnet hop character. A subtle dryness pervades the aromatics, with faint mineral and hay-like qualities that hint at complexity.
◐ Taste
The palate is dry and crisp, with a snappy bitterness that closes the profile cleanly. Funky, earthy undertones from the wild yeast integrate with modest malt backbone, creating tension between rusticity and refinement. The hop bitterness is restrained but assertive, finishing with a bracing edge.
◑ Finish
The aftertaste is lean and refreshing, with lingering dryness and a faint hoppy spice. No sweetness remains; the finish invites another sip.
