Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Gorilla Mode Yacht Rocker

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with a hazy, opaque character from suspended wheat and oat proteins. The head forms quickly and retains a fine, creamy collar with distinct lacing. Vigorous carbonation creates a restless visual impression throughout the glass.

◌ Aroma

Tropical stone fruit and citrus dominate the nose, with pronounced mango and passion fruit notes supported by natural flavoring. Galaxy and Citra hops contribute a subtle herbal-resinous backdrop without sharp bitterness. Wheat and oat base malts add a soft, bready undertone that grounds the bright top notes.
