Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Teton Light

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright, white head that dissipates steadily. Fine carbonation rises evenly through the glass, creating delicate bead trails. Schaumhaftung is moderate but persistent, clinging lightly to the sides as the beer is consumed.

◌ Aroma

Saaz hops deliver characteristic delicate floral and herbal notes, anchored by soft, earthy undertones. A subtle citrus lift from Southern Cross complements the bouquet without dominating. Light breadiness from American-grown Pilsen malt provides a clean, grain-forward foundation.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and crisp with a light body that feels refreshing on the palate. Mid-palate balances citrus snap with delicate floral character, while bitterness remains gentle at just 8 IBU—present but never harsh. Dry, clean finish with no residual sweetness.

◑ Finish

Short to medium finish that leaves the mouth clean and thirst-quenching. Subtle floral and herbal echoes linger briefly before fading to a bone-dry aftertaste.
