Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Evergreen

Appearance

Evergreen presents a pale golden hue characteristic of the West Coast IPA style. The beer displays excellent clarity with bright, clean transparency and forms a white head that maintains steady retention and lacing. Carbonation appears crisp and well-integrated, with fine bubbles rising steadily.

pale goldenclearwhite headfine carbonation

Aroma

The nose is dominated by resinous hop character, with Citra Cryo delivering concentrated citrus notes—lemon zest and grapefruit—without the leafy green quality of whole pellets. Simcoe contributes a distinctive pine and piney resin backdrop, grounding the bright citrus elements. A clean malt foundation supports the aromatic profile without intrusive grain or yeast notes.

Taste

The palate opens crisp and dry, with citrus notes from Citra Cryo following immediately into resinous, piney mid-palate complexity supplied by Simcoe. Bitterness is present and well-integrated, neither sharp nor lingering aggressively, balancing the dry character throughout. The malt provides minimal sweetness, allowing hop expression to dominate cleanly without astringency.

Finish

The finish is dry and relatively short, trailing off cleanly with residual piney and citrus notes fading gracefully. A light resinous aftertaste persists briefly without becoming sticky or cloying.

About West Coast IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a West Coast IPA?
