Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Furphy Original
◎ Appearance
Deep gold with a slight haze, presenting a bright and inviting color characteristic of the style. A white head forms readily and maintains good retention throughout the glass. The moderate carbonation is visible as a steady stream of fine bubbles.
◌ Aroma
Soft Vienna malt leads the nose with notes of bread crust and a delicate honey undertone. Victoria's Secret and Topaz hops remain restrained, offering gentle stone fruit, lemon peel, and a light grassy edge without aggressive hop character. The wheat component contributes a subtle, clean foundation to the overall bouquet.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with the soft, rounded sweetness of Vienna and wheat malts, creating a bready mid-palate with gentle honey notes. Citrus and grassy hop flavors emerge as supporting players rather than dominant forces. The bitterness is mild and earthy at 22 IBU, integrating smoothly without asserting itself.
◑ Finish
The finish is dry and clean, with the wheat and restrained hop bitterness working in concert to create a crisp, refreshing conclusion. No lingering sweetness or harshness; the beer drinks light and sessionable to the final sip.
