Very dry and assertively bitter.
A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Total Domination IPA
◎ Appearance
Total Domination presents a golden amber hue with excellent clarity and bright light transmission. A dense white head forms readily and clings to the glass with persistent lacing as the beer is consumed. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating fine bubbles that sustain the foam structure throughout.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with pronounced citrus notes—bright grapefruit and lemon zest—layered with delicate floral undertones that suggest noble hop character. A soft, biscuity malt backbone emerges beneath, providing sweetness without overshadowing the hop aromatics. The overall impression is clean and inviting, with no harsh alcohol or oxidative notes.
◐ Taste
Entry is crisp and hoppy, with grapefruit and orange flavors taking the lead on the palate. The biscuity malt foundation provides structure and mild sweetness through the mid-palate, balancing the herbal and citrus bitterness that develops. Bitterness is assertive but not aggressive, resolving cleanly without astringency or harshness.
◑ Finish
The finish is dry and lingering, with citrus and subtle orange notes persisting on the palate. Bitterness fades gradually, leaving a refreshing, slightly herbal aftertaste that invites another sip.
