Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Modus Hazy 3.5
◎ Appearance
Golden yellow with a persistent haze born from suspended yeast and oat proteins rather than opacity for its own sake. The head is modest but stable, laying down fine lacing on the glass. Bright carbonation lifts the cloudiness without aggressive effervescence.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with ripe tropical fruit—passionfruit and mango dominate, backed by pink grapefruit zest. Beneath the hop aromatics sits a soft, creamy oat note that adds body to the scent without heaviness. Minimal resinous or herbal character keeps the profile clean and juicy.
◐ Taste
Entry is smooth and lightly sweet from Pilsner and Gladiator malts, with rolled oats delivering a silky mouthfeel uncommon in beers this strength. Mid-palate unfolds those juicy tropical notes with restrained bitterness (10 IBU barely registers as a structural element). The finish turns dry and crisp, shedding sweetness quickly without astringency.
◑ Finish
Short and clean, the aftertaste fades to a subtle dry mineral note without lingering sweetness or hop bitterness. The beer leaves the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.
