Very dry and assertively bitter.
The malt sets the frame and lets the hops carry the flavour.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hop Project
◎ Appearance
Pale golden color with excellent clarity and bright translucence. A dense white head builds quickly and maintains fine lacing down the glass. Carbonation is visibly active, with steady streams of small bubbles rising through the body.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with bright citrus—orange peel and grapefruit—layered with fresh herbal and piney notes characteristic of the featured hop variety. Clean malt backbone provides gentle support without woody or caramel notes. Aroma is crisp and forward, inviting repeated sniffs.
◐ Taste
Entry is clean and crisp, with immediate hop bitterness that builds steadily across the palate. Citrus and floral hop character dominates the mid-palate, with subtle fruity undertones emerging alongside a lean malt frame. Bitterness is well-integrated rather than harsh, finishing with a dry, hoppy punch.
◑ Finish
Medium-length dry finish with persistent hoppy bitterness and lingering citrus notes. Aftertaste remains clean and refreshing without any harsh or astringent edges.
