Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Honeyspot Road

◎ Appearance

Pale golden yellow with fine turbidity from unfiltered wheat and yeast in suspension. The head forms quickly with moderate density and clings to the glass with delicate lacing as it recedes. Bright carbonation maintains steady streams throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

Citrus and pine dominate the nose, with grapefruit and lemon zest lifted by Pacific Northwest hop oils. Beneath sits soft wheat character and a hint of floral, herbal spice—no harsh alcohol vapors despite the clean fermentation. The overall impression is bright and herbaceous without astringency.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and juicy, with stone-fruit and citrus flavors rolling across a soft, lightly grainy palate. Mid-palate holds balanced bitterness at 60 IBU—enough to frame the hops without dominating the wheat backbone. Finish dries slightly with lingering grapefruit and a gentle herbal spice.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

About White IPA

What is a White IPA?
