Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Pentonville Pale
◎ Appearance
Pale golden hue with bright, clear transparency and lively carbonation visible throughout the glass. A fine white head forms on the pour and persists with good lacing, typical of a well-conditioned ale.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with vibrant citrus notes—predominantly orange zest and grapefruit—layered over clean, herbaceous hop character. Subtle malt undertones provide a light, biscuity foundation without overwhelming the aromatic profile.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with a crisp, refreshing entry and continues with balanced hoppy character that expresses citrus and light herbal notes. Moderate bitterness (38 IBU) settles in cleanly without harshness, finishing with a dry, unfussy quality that invites another sip.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and relatively dry, with lingering hop bitterness that fades gracefully. The aftertaste remains refreshing and fruit-forward, with no rough edges.
