Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Green Beacon Hazy XPA
◎ Appearance
A pale, hazy pour with a soft golden hue characteristic of the extra pale ale style. The cloudiness comes from suspended yeast and hop particulates, creating an opaque, inviting presentation. A modest white head forms and fades gradually, leaving delicate lacing on the glass.
◌ Aroma
Bright citrus notes dominate the nose, with distinct grapefruit and orange character from the Citra and Eclipse hops. A piney, resinous undertone provides herbal backbone, while subtle stone fruit—particularly peach—emerges beneath the hop-forward profile. The overall aromatic impression is fresh and inviting without heavy malt presence.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with concentrated citrus flavors that mirror the aroma, followed by a clean, herbaceous hop presence with distinct pine characteristics. Bitterness is deliberately restrained, allowing hop flavor to lead rather than harsh bite. A light malt backbone supports the composition without adding sweetness, maintaining crisp dryness throughout the mid-palate.
◑ Finish
The finish is soft and dry, with citrus notes gradually fading into a subtle piney aftertaste. Carbonation provides gentle effervescence without astringency, leading to a refreshing and approachable conclusion.
