Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Bound By Honour

Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant tropical fruit—leading with Galaxy hop notes of passion fruit and guava. Motueka and Wai-iti contribute brighter citrus notes and a subtle stone-fruit character of fresh peach. Beneath lies a clean, neutral malt foundation that allows the aromatic hops to command the sensory experience.

Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with a light body that emphasizes the hop-forward character. The mid-palate balances flavours of fresh lime zest, peach stone, and passion fruit pulp with a subtle bitterness that arrives as a gentle grip rather than an aggressive bite. The finish remains clean and dry without astringency.
