Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Phantasmagoria
◎ Appearance
Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation evident throughout. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with notable persistence, leaving delicate lacing on each sip.
◌ Aroma
The nose presents a complex interplay of Belgian yeast phenolics—particularly clove and white pepper—layered with bright stone fruit esters and subtle banana notes. Wheat adds a soft, grainy backdrop without dominating the aromatic profile.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with fruity, slightly peppery notes before building a full, wheat-forward body with oat-derived softness. Moderate bitterness (28 IBU) integrates smoothly, allowing the herbal and phenolic spice to drive the mid-palate without sharp edges. The finish remains decidedly dry.
◑ Finish
Crisp and lingering, with residual spice and a clean, peppery dryness that extends across the palate. The 8.1% ABV provides subtle warmth without apparent harshness.
