Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Opening Doors
◎ Appearance
Opening Doors presents a hazy, pale golden body with suspended yeast creating a soft, cloudy visual character. The head forms readily and clings to the glass with good retention, typical of the oat and wheat base. Fine carbonation rises steadily through the glass, contributing to the beer's inviting, approachable appearance.
◌ Aroma
The nose is led by bright stone fruit and citrus, with tangerine and mango notes emerging clearly behind. A dank, resinous edge develops in the background, characteristic of the Citra, Mosaic and Sabro hop blend. Beneath the hop intensity lies a gentle, bready malt foundation that rounds out the overall aromatic profile without dominating.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with the promised bready, cereal-derived character from Maris Otter, oats and wheat, immediately supported by the soft haze that creates a creamy mouthfeel. Hop bitterness remains measured and integrated, allowing citrus and tropical stone fruit flavours to persist through the mid-palate. Despite the lower alcohol, the hop intensity matches a full-strength hazy pale, delivering genuine hop character without sharp edges.
◑ Finish
The finish is smooth and clean, with mild bitterness tapering gradually rather than lingering sharply. A light, refreshing quality persists as the resinous hop notes fade, leaving the palate dry without astringency.
