Assertively bitter and very dry.
The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Twin Pines
◎ Appearance
Off-orange hue with semi-bright clarity beneath a persistent white head. The beer displays clean, well-defined carbonation and maintains solid foam retention through the glass, with tight lacing clinging to the walls.
◌ Aroma
Assertive and dank on the nose, with loud pine and citrus notes layered throughout. The hop-forward character dominates, showing bright grapefruit and herbal resin alongside subtle stone fruit undertones that emerge on further inspection.
◐ Taste
Sticky and oily mouthfeel supports a resinous, full-bodied hop presence. Grapefruit, stone fruit, and pine roll across the palate into a sharp, clean bitter bite that cuts through without lingering harshness. Munich malt and dextrose provide backbone without sweetness, keeping the finish crisp despite the 8.8% strength.
◑ Finish
The bitter edge persists into a clean, dry aftertaste. Dextrose and Munich malt prevent sweetness from clinging, leaving a bright, refreshing farewell.
