Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Cosmic Berry Wheat

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a slight hazy quality typical of wheat ales, suggesting active yeast suspension. A modest white head forms quickly and holds with delicate lacing as the beer settles. Fine carbonation rises steadily through the glass, contributing to the beer's lively, approachable presentation.

◌ Aroma

Blueberry and berry fruit dominate the nose immediately, lifted and direct without muddiness. Soft wheat malt provides a gentle, biscuity backdrop that grounds the fruity top note. A whisper of phenolic spice from the ale yeast adds subtle complexity without overwhelming the fresh, summery character.

◐ Taste

Berry sweetness takes the lead on entry, with blueberry notes remaining the focal point across the mid-palate. Smooth wheat character integrates seamlessly, offering a creamy mouthfeel without heaviness. Bitterness is restrained at 12 IBU, allowing the fruit and grain to shine; the finish remains clean and unobtrusive.
