Starz in your eyes

Tap to rate

Citrusy, resinous hops from Bru-1, Ekuanot and Citra shape the aroma and flavour, added in the whirlpool and the dry hop. Pilsner malt with corn flakes and rice is mashed at a very low temperature for an ultra-dry, light body, and champagne-like carbonation gives it its bright sparkle. Starz in your eyes is a vegan seasonal Extra Brut IPA of Jakobsland Brewers.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Starz in your eyes

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent transparency and bright luminosity. A fine, persistent white head forms and clings to the glass in delicate lacing. The carbonation is notably crisp and effervescent, creating a champagne-like sparkle that sustains throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by resinous, citrus-forward hop character from Bru-1, Ekuanot, and Citra. Grapefruit and lemon zest mingle with herbal, piney resins and a subtle mineral edge. Underneath, the Pilsner malt and corn adjuncts provide only a whisper of grain sweetness, allowing the hops to take center stage.

◐ Taste

The palate enters bone-dry with a crisp, effervescent bite that emphasizes the beer's ultra-light body. Citrus and resinous hop flavors build through the mid-palate with a clean, slightly grassy bitterness that sits at a moderate level. The corn and rice adjuncts enhance dryness without adding weight, maintaining a champagne-like quality throughout.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
