Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Störtebeker New England IPA
◎ Appearance
A hazy golden-orange body with excellent clarity for the style, crowned by a pillowy, cream-colored head that clings to the glass with persistent lacing. The haziness is deliberate and inviting, characteristic of New England IPA tradition. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, supporting the soft visual presentation.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with juicy tropical fruit—mango and pineapple notes—layered with bright citrus zest and subtle stone fruit undertones. A soft peach character emerges on deeper inhalation, while the hop profile remains clean and aromatic without aggressive resin or herbal edges. Minimal malt or yeast-derived notes allow the hop character to dominate the sensory experience.
◐ Taste
The palate opens soft and velvety, delivering pronounced peachy and orange flavors that carry through the mid-palate with a full, creamy mouthfeel. Bitterness is restrained at 45 IBU, acting as a gentle counterpoint rather than a dominant force, allowing the fruity hop profile to shine. The body feels substantial without heaviness, supported by the 6.8% ABV.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and refreshingly dry, with lingering peachy and citrus notes that fade gracefully without astringency. The aftertaste remains bright and inviting, encouraging another sip.
