The malt sets the frame and lets the hops carry the flavour.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Great Notion Easy Lift
◎ Appearance
Clear, pale golden liquid with bright transparency—a deliberate departure from Great Notion's hazy signature. The head rises quickly and maintains stable white lacing around the glass. Carbonation is visible and lively, evident in persistent fine bubbles rising through the body.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with Mosaic's floral and tropical character, supported by Cascade's classic citrus and herbal pine. Underlying notes of orange zest and a subtle herbal earthiness round out the profile. The dry-hop approach presents a clean, focused bouquet without sweetness.
◐ Taste
Entry is clean and gripping, with immediate hop bitterness (60 IBU) balanced against a lean, restrained malt backbone. Mid-palate develops bright citrus and pine notes with a mineral dryness that prevents any cloying sensation. The finish arrives quickly, leaving behind a persistent hoppy, resinous bite.
◑ Finish
Medium-short and bone-dry, with lingering herbal and piney bitterness on the palate. Clean residual flavor fades to a crisp, refreshing aftertaste without astringency.
