Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for SunSetter Peach Wheat Ale

◎ Appearance

A sunset-golden hue dominates the glass, with excellent clarity despite the unfiltered nature of the brew. The head forms with moderate density and demonstrates good retention, with fine lacing clinging to the sides. Carbonation appears brisk and well-integrated throughout.

◌ Aroma

Ripe stone fruit leads the bouquet, with prominent peach notes that are fresh and inviting rather than candied or artificial. Citra hops contribute a bold citrus dimension—bright grapefruit and subtle pine undertones—while the wheat Malz provides a soft, grainy foundation. A delicate herbal quality completes the nose.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with gentle sweetness and full body for the ABV, the peach character remaining true and well-integrated. Mid-palate reveals the citrus bite from the Edelhopfen without sharp aggression; bitterness remains restrained at 16 IBU, allowing the fruit and malt to shine. A subtle wheat spiciness emerges as the beer warms.
