Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Green Beacon Hazy IPA
◎ Appearance
The beer presents a cloudy, pale golden appearance characteristic of the New England IPA style. The haze arises from suspended yeast and proteins, creating an opaque, inviting presentation. A moderate white head forms and settles into a light ring of lacing around the glass.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with vibrant tropical hop notes that lead with pineapple and passion fruit. Fresh citrus—particularly lime—threads through the aroma, creating a zesty and herbaceous backdrop. Soft, clean yeast character supports the fruit without adding phenolic or funky notes.
◐ Taste
The palate enters with juicy pineapple and passion fruit flavors, complemented by bright lime acidity that keeps the beer refreshing. Bitterness remains intentionally restrained, allowing the fruit and soft body to dominate the mid-palate. The finish is clean and smooth, without the sharp bite typical of traditional IPA profiles.
◑ Finish
The finish lingers gently with residual fruit notes fading into a clean, dry aftertaste. No harsh astringency or lingering hop bite; the beer concludes as it began—soft and approachable.
