Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Room 237 DDH Pale

Appearance

A hazy golden-yellow body with soft, pale straw hues throughout. The dense, creamy head builds easily and clings to the glass in persistent patches, showing fine Schaumkleiden. Carbonation is gentle and even, characteristic of a modern NEIPA-style pale ale.

Aroma

The nose opens with ripe tropical stone fruits—mango and passionfruit—from the Galaxy dry hop, while Bru-1 brings a subtle citrus undertone and light herbal note. A gentle wheat and oat softness frames the aromatic profile, with just a whisper of dextrin-derived sweetness in the background.

Taste

The palate enters soft and creamy, with the wheat and oat grist delivering a full, juicy mouthfeel. Tropical and citrus flavors bloom across the mid-palate, supported by a restrained, clean bitterness of 38 IBU that never dominates. The rye adds a fine peppery edge, while dextrin contributes a touch of sweetness that balances the hop intensity without cloying.
