Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Tangled Roots

◎ Appearance

A pale golden haze dominates the glass, characteristic of the White IPA style. The cloudiness stems from suspended yeast and wheat proteins, creating a soft, diffuse appearance. A modest white head forms quickly and fades to a thin collar with moderate lacing.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent banana esters from the weizen yeast, layered beneath bright fruity hop notes. Simcoe, Amarillo, and HBC 638 contribute citrus and stone-fruit character. A gentle biscuity malt undertone provides earthiness without dominating the aromatic profile.

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.
