Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Marrickville Nights
◎ Appearance
Deep amber-brown body with a warm mahogany tone, reflecting the 20 SRM roast. Clarity is good, allowing light to pass through with ease. A modest tan head forms and recedes to a thin collar, leaving fine lacing on the glass.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with roasted malt and chocolate, underpinned by a subtle coffee character. Cascade, Galaxy, Enigma and Ella hops layer in bright citrus notes and passionfruit, with a herbal-grassy thread running through. The balance tilts toward the malt base rather than aggressive hop aromatics.
◐ Taste
Entry is smooth, with chocolate and roasted grain character building through the mid-palate. Tropical and citrus hop notes weave alongside dry, grassy bitterness without harshness. At 30 IBU, the bitterness is present but measured, allowing the malt sweetness to remain understated and the overall profile to stay drinkable.
◑ Finish
The finish is dry and clean, with lingering coffee and roasted grain notes fading into a gentle hoppy bitterness. Moderate body and crisp resolution invite another sip.
