Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Cran Orange Wheat
◎ Appearance
A hazy amber pour with a distinctive pink tint, the result of cranberry and orange fruit additions. The head builds soft and dissipates moderately, leaving a light lacing around the glass. Bright carbonation is visible throughout, characteristic of an active wheat ale.
◌ Aroma
Tart cranberry leads the nose, mingling with sweet orange zest and candied citrus notes. Beneath the fruit sits a soft, bready grain character supported by gentle honey malt undertones. Mt. Hood hops remain restrained, contributing only a subtle herbal whisper to the aromatic profile.
◐ Taste
The palate balances citrus sweetness against a bright, berry-like tartness that evolves through the mid-palate. Bitterness is deliberately low at 17 IBU, allowing the fruit character and soft malt structure to dominate. The finish turns crisp and clean, with the tart notes lingering pleasantly without becoming harsh.
◑ Finish
A short to medium finish with lingering tartness and a clean, refreshing aftertaste. The wheat ale's natural effervescence contributes to the drying sensation that concludes each sip.
