The malt sets the frame and lets the hops carry the flavour.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Pulp
◎ Appearance
A luminous golden-orange haze dominates the glass, with suspended yeast particles creating a soft, gauzy opacity throughout. The head rises quickly and holds with gentle persistence, leaving fine traces of lacing as the beer settles. Carbonation is brisk and even, creating a steady stream of fine bubbles.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with bright citrus candy notes—candied orange and lemon-lime dominate—layered over a creamy, almost sherbet-like sweetness. Beneath sit softer herbal and floral facets from noble hops, with a faint suggestion of bready grain. There is no alcohol burn despite the 6.2% ABV; the aromatic profile remains fresh and inviting.
◐ Taste
The palate enters soft and full-bodied, with a seamless blend of citrus and tropical fruit character that mirrors the nose. Mid-palate holds a gentle hop bitterness—65 IBUs express themselves as a measured punch rather than aggression—balanced by creamy malt sweetness and a smooth, integrated mouthfeel. The finish dries slightly, allowing citrus and hop character to linger without harshness.
◑ Finish
A moderate, clean dry-down with citrus and subtle herbal hop notes persisting on the palate. The aftertaste remains refreshing and free of cloying sweetness or sharp edges.
