Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Störtebeker Pazifik-Ale
◎ Appearance
Bright golden hue with excellent clarity and fine, persistent head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass walls. Well-carbonated with a lively bead that sustains throughout the tasting. The color suggests a restrained malt backbone typical of the IPA style.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with clean citrus and tropical stone fruit—orange and passionfruit—from the Pacific hop selection. A light, herbal edge frames the aromatics without veering into resinous territory. Subtle malt undertones provide structure without competing with the hops.
◐ Taste
Entry is crisp and refreshing with immediate citrus bite. The mid-palate carries tropical and fruity notes with balanced bitterness that builds gently rather than assaults. Dry finish with no lingering sweetness—the 60 IBU bitterness integrates cleanly into the overall composition.
◑ Finish
Medium-length dry finish with persistent hoppy bitterness that invites another sip. No astringency or harsh edges, just clean, lingering hop character that fades gracefully.
