Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for IPA Série Simcoe/Centennial
◎ Appearance
Bright golden-amber hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation evident throughout. The head forms quickly and retains well, leaving delicate lacing on the glass as the beer is consumed.
◌ Aroma
The nose is dominated by generously applied American and New Zealand hops, releasing bright citrus notes—grapefruit and lemon peel—alongside subtle tropical fruit undertones. A resinous, piney character emerges in the background, grounded by clean malt support without excessive grain presence.
◐ Taste
Entry is crisp and hoppy, with citrus flavors developing immediately across the palate. Mid-palate brings layered resinous and piney notes that build into a pronounced yet balanced bitterness. The finish is dry and clean, allowing the hop character to linger without astringency.
◑ Finish
The aftertaste is clean and lingering, with residual hop bitterness and subtle pine that fades gradually. No sweetness remains—the dry character persists to the final note.
