Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Be Happy
◎ Appearance
Pale golden hue with pronounced haziness from suspended oats and wheat, creating an opaque, cloudy presentation. A dense, creamy head forms readily and clings to the glass with good retention. Fine carbonation sits beneath the surface, contributing to the soft, pillowy mouthfeel.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with bright tropical fruit and citrus notes—orange and peach dominate, supported by subtle stone fruit undertones. Noble hops deliver a clean, fruity character without sharp herbal or piney edges. A soft, grainy malz backdrop rounds out the profile, grounding the aromatic intensity.
◐ Taste
Entry is full and juicy, with the oats and wheat creating a velvety, creamy body that coats the palate. Mid-palate echoes the tropical and citrus notes from the aroma—orange, peach, and stone fruit blend seamlessly with the grain sweetness. Bitterness remains restrained at 45 IBU, offering balance rather than assertiveness; the finish is smooth and soft with no harsh drying sensation.
◑ Finish
The fade is clean and brief, leaving behind residual sweetness and a faint citrus echo. No dry bite or lingering harshness; the aftertaste remains refreshing and fruit-forward.
