Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Tiger

◎ Appearance

Tiger presents a hazy, pale golden body with a fine white head that settles into a thin collar. The cloudiness from yeast suspension is characteristic of the style, with good Schaumhaftung clinging to the glass walls. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, supporting the beer's soft, approachable visual character.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes from Citra and Riwaka Cryo, carrying distinct grapefruit and orange-peel character. Behind the citrus lies a tropical fruit backdrop—mango and passionfruit—with subtle supporting notes of piney resin. Edelhopfen-driven aroma dominates; the malt base remains intentionally restrained, allowing the hop profile to command the sensory stage.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and succulent, with citrus-forward hop flavor layered over a soft malt body. Mid-palate develops tropical fruit sweetness balanced by measured bitterness (80 IBU) that arrives as a dry, assertive finish without harshness. The beer drinks vollmundig and clean, with hop bitterness providing structure rather than domination.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and moderately lingering, with residual citrus pith and mild resinous bitterness carried into the aftertaste. The 8% ABV remains well-concealed, never warming or cloying the conclusion.

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.
