Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Philter XPA
◎ Appearance
Pours a bright golden yellow with a natural haze that catches the light pleasantly. The head is modest but persistent, with fine bubbles that cling to the glass in delicate patterns. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, lending the beer a gently animated presence.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with vibrant tropical stone fruit—passionfruit and mango dominate, layered over brighter citrus notes from the Citra and Mosaic hops. Beneath the fruit sits a soft, clean malt base that grounds the expression without competing for attention. The overall aromatic profile is inviting and fresh, with no sharp alcohol or oxidative notes.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with a crisp, fruit-forward entry that echoes the aromatic promise. Mid-palate reveals a lean, dry character with continued tropical and citrus presence, supported by the Galaxy and Simcoe hops' subtle complexity. Bitterness arrives gently at 25 IBU—restrained but present—and builds toward a clean, dry finish that invites another sip.
◑ Finish
The finish is crisp and departing, leaving behind a pleasant dryness and fading citrus warmth. Aftertaste remains clean with no cloying sweetness, making this an exceptionally approachable beer despite its hop character.
