Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for El Horizonte

◎ Appearance

Bright golden hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass walls with persistent lacing, creating a fine layer of foam that gradually subsides.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced tropical fruit notes—mango and passionfruit—layered beneath a resinous, pine-forward character. Floral and herbal undertones from the hop blend give way to subtle stone-fruit notes of apricot, with minimal malt presence allowing the aromatics to dominate.

◐ Taste

The palate is clean and crisp, with dry bitterness emerging immediately and building through the mid-palate. Citrus and pine flavors interweave with tropical notes, while the malt backbone remains lean and restrained, providing just enough sweetness to balance the 75 IBUs without becoming cloying.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and dry, with lingering pine resin and subtle citrus zest on the aftertaste. A gentle warmth from the 7.4% ABV fades cleanly without harshness.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
