Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for New Glarus Moon Man Pale Ale
◎ Appearance
Moon Man presents a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a visually appealing presentation typical of a well-crafted American pale ale.
◌ Aroma
The nose is dominated by a complex blend of citrus and tropical fruit notes, with Citra and Amarillo hops providing prominent grapefruit and orange zest characteristics. Beneath the hop intensity lies a clean, subtle malt foundation with hints of peach and floral notes from the Simcoe addition, creating a well-layered aromatic profile.
◐ Taste
The palate opens crisp and clean, with the five-hop blend delivering sustained citrus and stone fruit flavors across the mid-palate. The malt backbone is lean but present, providing just enough sweetness and body to balance the 38 IBUs without overwhelming the hop-driven character. The bitterness builds gradually and finishes dry.
◑ Finish
The finish is crisp and moderately dry, with lingering citrus and a clean bitter edge that encourages another sip. The aftertaste remains hop-focused without becoming harsh.
