Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for The Goat
◎ Appearance
Pale golden with a slight haze, reflecting the mixed fermentation and minimal filtering. The head forms quickly but settles to a thin, delicate layer with modest lacing. Carbonation is gentle and restrained, appropriate to the farmhouse character.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with earthy notes—soil, hay, and mineral undertones from the foudre aging—mingled with a subtle funkiness characteristic of mixed-culture fermentation. Wheat and oat grains add a soft, bready sweetness beneath, with faint herbal whispers and a touch of yeast complexity that evolves as the beer warms.
◐ Taste
Dry entry with prominent earthiness and a grainy, slightly astringent mouthfeel from rye and oats. The mid-palate reveals subtle breadiness and yeast-driven texture without heaviness, while a restrained bitterness (25 IBU) provides structure without aggression. The overall impression is rustic and balanced, with mineral notes lingering quietly.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and moderately short, fading into a dry, slightly herbal aftertaste. No cloying sweetness lingers—only a whisper of grain and earth.
