Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Green Circle
◎ Appearance
Green Circle presents a light golden hue with excellent clarity and bright translucence. The head forms with moderate density and clings to the glass in a fine, persistent lace. Carbonation is crisp and visible, creating a lively bead that sustains throughout the pour.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with bright tropical fruit and ripe berry notes from the Mosaic hops, underscored by distinct grapefruit peel zest. A light pine and resin backbone provides herbal structure, while Talus contributes a subtle coconut-like softness that rounds the profile. The clean pale malt base remains restrained, allowing the hop character to dominate.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with a clean, medium-light body that emphasizes the hop-forward character without heaviness. Tropical and berry flavors integrate seamlessly with a measured grapefruit bitterness that builds gradually. The firm but not aggressive bitterness drives toward a dry finish, while the malt provides just enough neutral sweetness to balance the frame.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and lingering, with the bitterness persisting pleasantly without becoming sharp. A faint citrus and pine echo remains on the palate, leaving a refreshing, thirst-quenching aftertaste.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Green Circle
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
