Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Sofa Sour: Lemon Custard
◎ Appearance
Pale golden hue with exceptional clarity and bright translucence. The head forms with moderate density and exhibits fine, persistent lacing that clings to the glass walls. Carbonation appears lively but restrained, appropriate to the delicate character of the style.
◌ Aroma
Bright lemon zest dominates the nose, presenting sharp citrus peel notes that lead immediately. Underlying the citrus, soft vanilla and custard-like sweetness emerge without overwhelming the front-end character. A light, grainy malt undertone provides subtle structure and balances the acidity cues in the bouquet.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with assertive lemon acidity that cuts cleanly without harshness, moderated by creamy vanilla and custard sweetness that settle into the mid-palate. The light grainy Malz character lends a dry, anchoring foundation. Sourness and sweetness play in equilibrium, with bitterness entirely absent.
◑ Finish
The finish transitions into a sweet-sour resolution, with vanilla lingering on the palate and fading gradually. No astringency or harsh edges intrude—the close remains soft and dessert-forward.
