Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Le Temps du Bonheur
◎ Appearance
Le Temps du Bonheur presents a pale golden hue with a distinctly hazy, turbid body characteristic of the New England style. The head is generous and persistent, with fine white foam that clings to the glass in delicate lacing. Carbonation appears moderate, creating a soft, approachable visual presence.
◌ Aroma
The nose is dominated by bright tropical fruit esters—papaya, mango, and citrus zest—layered with the signature house character that defines Fauve's aromatic identity. Beneath these vibrant top notes lie subtle grainy-sweet undertones from soft malt, with herbal and resinous hop character providing gentle structure without aggression. The overall impression is inviting and fruit-forward, with no harsh phenolics or off-notes.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with a smooth, creamy body that immediately conveys drinkability and approachability. Tropical and citrus notes continue from the nose, balanced by a light, clean malt sweetness that avoids cloying richness. The hop bitterness (38 IBU) is restrained but present, arriving in the mid-palate as a gentle counterpoint that prevents the beer from tasting flat or one-dimensional.
◑ Finish
The finish is crisp and refreshing, with the bitterness fading gracefully into a dry aftertaste. The lingering impression is of citrus and gentle herbal notes, leaving the palate clean and ready for the next sip.
