Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Originale
◎ Appearance
A bright golden hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation evident throughout. The head forms with modest retention and displays elegant lacing as it subsides. The beer presents a clean, inviting appearance characteristic of the pale ale tradition.
◌ Aroma
Cascade hops lead the nose with distinctive citrus notes—lemon and grapefruit pith—while the malt base contributes subtle sweetness from the Cara Vienne character. A light grain impression and delicate fruity esters round out the profile, creating a balanced and approachable aromatic presentation.
◐ Taste
Entry is clean and slightly sweet, with the barley and wheat malts providing a rounded, gentle foundation. Mid-palate reveals the citrus and stone fruit character from the hops, while residual malt sweetness keeps the profile balanced. Bitterness arrives in the mid-palate and builds into the finish without overwhelming the fruit and malt harmony.
◑ Finish
The finish is pleasant and dry, with lingering citrus notes and a subtle bitter edge that fades cleanly. Aftertaste remains fruity and malty without sharp astringency.
