Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Three Taverns Lord Grey

Appearance

Pale straw yellow with exceptional clarity and a fine, delicate white head that settles to a thin collar. The carbonation is gentle and steady, creating a soft visual presence that mirrors the beer's restrained character.

Aroma

Black tea and bergamot aromatics lead, layered with soft herbal and floral notes that suggest Earl Grey without mimicry. Beneath runs a clean wheat base with hints of citrus peel, restrained and inviting rather than perfumed.

Taste

Tart acidity frames the palate with precision, allowing bright citric notes and delicate tea tannins to unfold without sharpness. The wheat base provides body and smoothness; bitterness is minimal (10 IBU), letting the herbal and floral character dominate the mid-palate and linger into a crisp, refreshing finish.
