Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Harvest Pale
◎ Appearance
Harvest Pale presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright, lively carbonation. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. The overall presentation is clean and inviting, with no haze or sediment.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with assertive citrus—orange peel and grapefruit zest—from the Cascade and Centennial hops, layered with a subtle pine resin undertone from Chinook. A light, clean malt backbone provides gentle support without dominance, creating an aroma that is crisp and welcoming rather than aggressive or heavy.
◐ Taste
The palate entry is snappy and refreshing, with bright citrus and herbal hop character arriving immediately. Mid-palate develops a measured bitterness—38 IBU—that feels balanced rather than sharp, while the light malt provides a touch of sweetness and texture. The finish dries cleanly without astringency, leaving the hops to fade naturally.
◑ Finish
The aftertaste is short to medium, dominated by lingering citrus and a gentle pine note. At 3.8% ABV, there is no alcohol warmth, allowing the beer to remain refreshing and drinkable through to the end.
