Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for The Heart
◎ Appearance
The Heart presents a bright golden to straw hue, pouring clear with good transparency. A white head forms with solid retention, leaving fine lacing down the glass as it settles. The carbonation appears well-integrated, suggesting a lively but controlled fizz on the palate.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with pronounced citrus notes—bright lemon and grapefruit peel—layered with delicate floral characteristics reminiscent of wildflower and herbal tea. Beneath these hop-driven aromas lies a light, bready malt foundation that grounds the profile without competing for attention.
◐ Taste
Entry is crisp and clean, with citrus hop flavors establishing early presence. The mid-palate maintains balance between hop liveliness and a soft, subtle malt sweetness, building a refreshing character without assertive bitterness. Bitterness arrives as a supporting element rather than a dominant feature, keeping the beer approachable and drinkable.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and dry, with citrus and hop notes fading gracefully into a light, refreshing aftertaste. No harshness or astringency lingers; the beer leaves the palate ready for the next sip.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of The Heart
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.
