Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Silent Roar

◎ Appearance

Silent Roar presents a pale golden hue with bright clarity and lively carbonation that feeds a persistent white head. The beer maintains solid foam retention, with a fine lacework clinging to the glass as you drink. Light catches the body cleanly, characteristic of a lower-gravity IPA.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced tropical stone fruit—peach and apricot dominate—layered over a clean, grassy Edelhopfen backbone. Beneath the fruit sits a subtle malt sweetness that grounds the profile without overwhelming it. There is a fresh, almost resinous quality that keeps the aroma crisp rather than candied.

◐ Taste

Entry brings moderate malt sweetness with a soft biscuit base, quickly giving way to the fruited hop character. Mid-palate is where the tropical notes fully unfold—mango and stone fruit persist without becoming muddled. The bitterness sits at 60 IBU with a measured, herbal quality that balances rather than dominates, finishing dry and refreshing.

◑ Finish

The finish lingers briefly with fading fruit notes and a light herbal edge, leaving the palate crisp and ready for another sip. No harsh astringency or lingering sweetness; the aftertaste is refreshingly neutral.

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.
