Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Mutant Ninja Beast Hoppiness

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with visible lacing. Bright carbonation manifests as steady streams of small bubbles, contributing to the beer's lively presentation and sustained foam collar throughout the drinking experience.

◌ Aroma

The nose presents a complex array of citrus and tropical hop aromatics, with prominent grapefruit zest and lime leading the charge. Beneath the hop-forward character, subtle stone fruit notes emerge—apricot and peach—alongside a whisper of herbal, piney undertones that ground the volatile esters characteristic of the double dry-hop treatment.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy citrus and bright tropical fruit—mango and pineapple—that develop across the mid-palate with a clean, moderately bitter finish. The base malt provides subtle sweetness and body without dominating; bitterness builds steadily and lingers with a drying, resinous quality that echoes the hop profile without becoming harsh or astringent.

◑ Finish

Medium-length dry finish with lingering citrus and herbal bitterness. The aftertaste fades to a pleasant piney, resinous note that invites another sip without fatigue.

Serve at 8–11°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

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.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
