Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hop Take!

Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a soft haze characteristic of the New England style. The head is dense and persistent, clinging to the glass with fine lacing. Bright carbonation lifts the suspended yeast, creating a cloudy yet inviting visual presence.

pale straw yellowhazydense headfine lacing

Aroma

The nose explodes with tropical stone fruit—mango, papaya, and passionfruit—layered beneath bright citrus zest and subtle floral notes. Underneath runs a clean, soft Malz backbone that anchors the hop-forward character without asserting itself. The aromatic profile is bold yet cohesive, with no harsh or oxidative edges.

Taste

Entry is soft and creamy, with juicy fruit flavors unfolding immediately across the palate—mango, peach, and orange dominate the mid-palate with a smooth, almost velvety mouthfeel. Bitterness arrives as a whisper at 50 IBU, providing structure without aggression. The finish is clean and balanced, with tropical notes persisting gently.
