Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Harvest Autumn IPA

◎ Appearance

Golden-ruby hue with bright, translucent clarity and a fine white head that builds with moderate retention. The effervescent carbonation is evident in the steady rise of small bubbles, and light clings to the glass in delicate lacework as the head settles.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with herbaceous pine needles and fresh-cut grass, layered beneath warm caramel maltiness. American hops deliver a spicy lift that complements the underlying sweetness of cracked barley, creating an inviting and balanced aromatic entry.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with piney, spicy American hop character alongside bright grapefruit citrus, grounded by soft caramel and malt sweetness. Bitterness builds smoothly through the mid-palate at 55 IBU—moderately assertive without overwhelming the underlying hop and malt complexity. The medium body remains crisp and clean, allowing hop oils and malt character to finish without heaviness.

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.
