Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Primátor EPA
◎ Appearance
Dark amber to garnet hue presents with excellent clarity and a fine, silky head that adheres well to the glass wall. The carbonation is moderate and persistent, creating a stable foam collar that slowly diminishes, leaving delicate lacing throughout the drink.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with pronounced resinous and floral notes, driven by Northern Brewer and Styrian Golding hops. Grapefruit peel and gooseberry provide bright citrus character, while an underlying layer of rose petals adds complexity. Subtle caramel and dried fruit notes from the Malz backbone emerge on the second nose.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with a pronounced, clean bitterness that quickly integrates into a drier Malz foundation. Caramel sweetness and dried fruit notes develop in the mid-palate, supported by a full body and subtle oat-derived texture. The hop profile remains present but balanced, delivering citrus and herbal complexity without dominance.
◑ Finish
The finish is dry and lingering, with bitterness and Malz character persisting gently on the palate. A faint citrus and resinous note tapers gradually, leaving a refreshing, slightly astringent aftertaste.
