Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Pineapple Broken Heels

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with a soft, diffuse haze throughout the body—characteristic of the style and reinforced by suspension from the yeast. A dense, white head forms readily and holds with moderate persistence, leaving fine traces of lacing along the glass. Carbonation appears lively and well-integrated.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright pineapple and tropical fruit notes, layered over the floral and citrus character of Citra and Mosaic hops. A subtle background of soft malt sweetness and a touch of fresh grain rounds out the profile. The limestone-rich water subtly enhances clarity and mineral restraint in the aromatic expression.

◐ Taste

Juicy pineapple and stone fruit flavors dominate the palate entry, with Citra and Mosaic hops providing complementary citrus and herbal notes. The mid-palate is soft and creamy, with moderate malt backbone that balances without heaviness. Bitterness is measured at 50 IBU, arriving mid-palate as a clean, structured finish that does not overpower the fruit-forward character.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
