Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Graffiti Highway Double IPA

◎ Appearance

Hazy gold in the glass, turbid and opaque from suspended yeast and protein. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass walls with persistent lacing. Bright carbonation streams through the body, lending visual liveliness to the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus—lime zest and orange peel—layered beneath a tropical fruit canopy of mango and passionfruit. Chinook, Lotus, El Dorado and Mosaic hops deliver both floral earthiness and juicy stone fruit notes. The pale malt and wheat provide a soft, slightly sweet backbone without asserting itself.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with bold fruit sweetness—berries and citrus rush across the tongue—followed by a firm but refined bitterness that spreads smoothly through the mid-palate. The wheat contributes a silky texture that integrates the 9.5% alcohol seamlessly; no heat or harshness emerges. Bitterness persists gently without overshadowing the fruit character.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with citrus and herbal hop notes fading slowly into a pleasant bitter memory. Alcohol warmth sits beneath the surface but never becomes obtrusive.

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.
