Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Double Citra Daydream

◎ Appearance

Hazy golden-yellow with soft, diffuse opacity throughout. A dense, creamy head forms and clings persistently to the glass walls, leaving thick bands of lacing with each sip. Fine carbonation creates a gentle, sustained fizz.

◌ Aroma

Candied lychee and ripe orange blossom dominate the nose, layered with honeyed mango and peach stone aromatics. The Citra and Citra Cryo deliver bright citrus and tropical stone fruit without sharp resin or grass. Soft, grain-forward sweetness from oats and milk sugar sits beneath, creating a rounded, inviting profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with creamy mouthfeel from oat adjuncts and lactose coating the palate. Mid-palate shows concentrated orange marmalade and ripe mango, balanced by measured bitterness that rounds rather than sharpens. The sweetness remains present throughout without cloying, while hop character stays fruity and restrained at 65 IBU.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-length and clean, with fading citrus oils and a subtle dry edge. Candy-like residual sweetness lingers pleasantly without heaviness.

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.
