Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Springtij

◎ Appearance

Springtij presents a bright golden-yellow hue with excellent clarity and a pale straw glow when held to light. A thick, creamy white head forms on the pour and maintains good retention, with fine lacing clinging to the glass. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, lending visual liveliness without excessive aggression.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced floral notes—white flowers and herbal undertones from the signature hop varieties dominate the first impression. Beneath lies a subtle spice character with hints of black pepper and white pepper that adds complexity. Soft grainy Malz notes provide a light, biscuity foundation without overwhelming the delicate aromatics.

◐ Taste

On the palate, Springtij delivers a full, rounded mouthfeel with the promised floral character translating into the taste—gentle but persistent. The spice follows through mid-palate with a warming pepper quality that complements rather than dominates. Bitterness remains restrained (15 IBU), allowing the soft Malz sweetness and hop complexity to balance gracefully, finishing clean and dry.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, with the floral and spice notes gradually fading into a soft, slightly dry aftertaste. A gentle warmth from the 7.5% ABV lingers without harshness, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for the next sip.
