Very dry and assertively bitter.
The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Monday Night Space Lettuce IPA
◎ Appearance
Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. Fine white head forms quickly and clings to the glass with persistent lacing. Carbonation is crisp and well-integrated, creating a lively visual presence.
◌ Aroma
Citra and Mosaic hops dominate the nose, delivering prominent citrus notes alongside tropical fruit esters—grapefruit, passionfruit, and stone fruit leap forward. A subtle resinous undertone and gentle herbal character add depth without obscuring the fresh hop expression.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with bright citrus and tropical fruit derived from the hop profile, balanced by a clean, moderately sweet Malz base. Mid-palate carries sustained bitterness with piney and resinous edges, finishing with a dry, crisp bite that remains approachable rather than harsh.
◑ Finish
A clean, lingering aftertaste persists with grapefruit pith and light resin notes. The beer fades refreshingly without residual sweetness, leaving the palate ready for the next sip.
