Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Quilmes IPA
◎ Appearance
A bright golden hue with copper tints catches the light beautifully, presenting excellent clarity and transparency. The beer displays a lasting white head that persists throughout the tasting, indicating proper carbonation and fresh brewing technique.
◌ Aroma
Herbal hop character dominates the nose, showcasing the three Argentine hop varieties with green, grassy notes. Supporting the hops are pleasant cereal and malt undertones, with subtle citrus and light tropical fruit notes emerging on closer inspection—a well-balanced bouquet that respects the IPA tradition without overwhelming.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with gentle herbal and malty flavors, maintaining a light to medium body that feels approachable and refreshing. Mild citrus notes complement the soft bitterness (23 IBU), which remains restrained and elegant rather than aggressive, making this a distinctly drinkable interpretation of the IPA style.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and crisp, with the herbal bitterness fading gracefully without overstaying its welcome. A dry, refreshing aftertaste lingers briefly, inviting another sip and reinforcing the beer's approachability.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Quilmes IPA
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
