Assertively bitter and very dry.
The malt sets the frame and lets the hops carry the flavour.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Parish Ghost in the Machine
◎ Appearance
Hazy golden-yellow with a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass throughout. The cloudiness from active yeast creates a soft, almost luminous appearance. Moderate carbonation is visible as fine bubbles rising steadily through the opaque body.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with ripe tropical fruit — mango and passionfruit dominate, supported by bright citrus notes of orange and grapefruit zest. Noble hops contribute a clean, herbal undertone without aggressive grassiness, while a subtle sweetness from the Malz rounds the aromatic profile.
◐ Taste
The palate opens smooth and full-bodied, with tropical fruit flavors continuing into the mid-palate. Bitterness emerges gradually at 80 IBU but remains restrained and integrated, never harsh or astringent. The finish is dry and clean, with lingering citrus oils and a gentle herbal fade.
◑ Finish
Medium-length finish with a refreshing dryness that invites the next sip. Aftertaste carries fading citrus and herb notes without clinging sweetness.
