Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Colour Static
◎ Appearance
Colour Static presents a bright, pale golden hue with excellent clarity and fine white head that leaves delicate lacing along the glass. The carbonation is lively and persistent, creating a dynamic visual presence that mirrors the beer's name and refreshing character.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with crisp citrus notes from Mosaic and Zumo, balanced by the restrained spice and floral character of Lorien. Beneath the hop profile sits a clean, understated malt base with no heavy grain or yeast-driven esters—everything remains in proportion.
◐ Taste
The palate opens clean and crisp with immediate citrus acidity, developing a controlled bitterness that sits at moderate intensity rather than dominating. Malt sweetness and hop character remain in deliberate equilibrium throughout, creating a dry, well-composed mid-palate that drinks lighter than its 4.5% ABV suggests.
◑ Finish
The finish is short to medium, allowing the crisp bitterness to fade cleanly without lingering harshness. A subtle citrus dryness persists in the aftertaste, leaving the palate ready for the next sip.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Colour Static
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
