Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Field Trip

◎ Appearance

Field Trip presents a hazy golden body with a pale straw tint characteristic of the style. The cloudiness stems from suspended yeast and protein, creating a soft, diffuse appearance rather than true opacity. A white, creamy head settles into a fine Schaumkleiden that clings to the glass throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant tropical and citrus notes from Citra and Quantum Mosaic hops, evoking passionfruit, lemon zest, and mandarin. Berry undertones—particularly stone fruit—emerge beneath the hop character, supported by subtle grain sweetness from the Malz foundation. The overall impression is bright and inviting, without harsh resinous edges.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy tropical and citrus flavors that coat the mouth with a smooth, pillowy body. Mid-palate reveals ripe berry character balanced against a clean, measured hop bitterness of 50 IBU—present but not aggressive. The malt provides gentle sweetness and body without cloying, allowing the hops to remain the focal point.

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.
