Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Three Taverns Bright Day Coming

◎ Appearance

A pale straw-gold body with pronounced haze from suspended yeast and protein, lending a soft, cloudy character to the glass. The head forms quickly and maintains a loose, pillowy structure with modest lacing on the sides. Fine carbonation gives the beer a gentle visual liveliness without aggression.

◌ Aroma

Tropical and citrus-forward hop aromatics dominate — ripe stone fruit, tangerine zest, and a subtle pine undertone. Light Malz notes provide a clean, neutral backdrop without sweetness or heaviness. The nose remains bright and inviting, with no solvent or harsh alcohol character despite the balanced hop load.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and clean, with hop bitterness arriving mid-palate at a moderate, non-aggressive level (60 IBU). Tropical and citrus flavours echo the nose, balanced by a light, grain-derived sweetness that prevents dryness. The body tapers toward the finish, staying sessionable and smooth without any harsh edges or astringency.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
