Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Ragin' Bull

Appearance

Ragin' Bull presents a clear, amber-gold body with bright, clean transparency. The head forms a dense, persistent foam that clings to the glass walls, leaving a fine network of lacing with each sip. Carbonation is lively but restrained, typical of a well-balanced lager.

Aroma

The nose leads with toasted caramel malt, offering gentle sweetness and a light bakery warmth. Noble hops contribute a soft, herbal undertone with subtle mineral notes, while the clean lager character keeps the aroma crisp and inviting without any fermentation funk.

Taste

The palate opens malty and smooth, with the toasted caramel character developing throughout the mid-palate into a light bread-like note. The noble hop bitterness is restrained (22 IBU), offering just enough balance to prevent sweetness from dominating. The finish turns increasingly dry and mineral, leaving the mouth clean and thirst-quenching.
