Dry and assertively bitter.
The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Soul Style IPA
◎ Appearance
Soul Style presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright translucence. The head forms dense and persistent white foam that clings to the glass with fine Schaumhaftung. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating steady streams of fine bubbles.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with prominent tangerine and fresh stone-fruit character, particularly peach and nectarine. Clean noble hop notes underscore the citrus without harshness, while a subtle malt foundation provides light bread and grain backbone. The overall effect is inviting and approachable, with no sharp or grassy edges.
◐ Taste
Entry is clean and refreshing with immediate citrus and orange character that fills the mid-palate. The malt base sits light but present, delivering a touch of sweetness and bread without becoming cloying. Bitterness arrives measured and balanced, building gradually to a dry finish without the aggressive bite typical of heavier West Coast styles.
◑ Finish
The finish is crisp and relatively short, with lingering orange zest and a gentle herbal undertone. Aftertaste remains dry and refreshing, inviting the next sip.
