Dry and assertively bitter.

The malt sets the frame and lets the hops carry the flavour.

Wider bands mean we're less certain about the exact position.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Maravillas IPA

Appearance

Pale golden yellow with bright clarity and lively carbonation throughout. The head forms quickly and maintains a fine, persistent white collar with good adhesion to the glass walls. Light and inviting, the visual presentation conveys freshness and careful handling.

Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus notes—grapefruit and orange zest—layered with resinous pine and herbal undertones from assertive hop character. A light malt foundation provides subtle sweetness without obscuring the bright, forward-facing hop aromatics. Fresh and crisp on the first impression.

Taste

The palate opens with clean citrus and pine, the bitterness arriving steadily through the mid-palate in a measured, balanced fashion. Resinous hop flavors persist without harshness; underlying malt structure is lean and supportive, allowing the hop profile to dominate. The finish moves toward dryness with lingering herbal bite.
