Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Black Horse
◎ Appearance
Golden and crystalline, with a bright pale hue that catches light cleanly. The head forms fine and compact, dissipating to a thin collar with moderate lacing. Carbonation appears well-integrated, evident in the steady stream of fine bubbles.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with straightforward grain, presenting a plain and honest malt character without complexity. Noble hop varieties contribute a subtle herbal and slightly spicy undertone, grassy at the edges. Overall restrained and lean, with no adjunct or yeast-driven notes.
◐ Taste
Entry is light and crisp, the palate struck immediately by a firm hop bitterness that distinguishes it from sweeter lager peers. Mid-palate remains lean, driven by malt backbone that sits low and clean without caramel or depth. The finish is dry and cleansing, bitterness lingering without harshness.
◑ Finish
The aftertaste is short and clean, bitterness fading quickly to leave a dry, refreshing impression. No residual sweetness or coating; the palate is left crisp and ready for the next sip.
