Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hop Twister Haze

◎ Appearance

Hazy golden hue with fine suspended sediment creating a soft, diffused appearance. The head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass, leaving delicate strands of lacing. Bright carbonation animates the body with active, fine bubbles throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant tropical fruit—mango and passion fruit—layered with stone fruit notes of peach and apricot. Beneath runs a subtle citrus thread from the Citra and Mosaic hop blend, balanced by clean, understated Malz character that grounds the profile without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and fruit-forward, with berry and tropical notes establishing themselves immediately on the palate. Mid-palate develops peach and subtle stone fruit depth, while moderate hop bitterness (35 IBU) provides structure without harshness. The profile remains crisp and refreshing, with balanced Malz sweetness that supports rather than overwhelms the fruit character.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and slightly dry, with lingering stone fruit and berry notes fading smoothly. Residual citrus and hop character provide a gentle, refreshing exit that invites another sip.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
