Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Tunnel Vision

◎ Appearance

Pours a luminous hazy gold with exceptional clarity for the style. A dense, persistent white head forms immediately and clings to the glass with strong lacing throughout the drinking experience. Fine carbonation creates a gentle effervescence beneath the surface.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with concentrated tropical fruit—mango, passion fruit, and stone fruit dominate from aggressive dry-hopping. Secondary notes of citrus zest and a subtle herbal earthiness provide balance. Underneath lies a soft, bready malt character that frames rather than competes with the hop expression.

◐ Taste

Entry is bright and juicy, with tropical fruit flavors immediately present. The mid-palate develops a lush, oat-derived creaminess and body that carries the fruity character forward without heaviness. Bitterness remains restrained at 45 IBU, allowing stone fruit and citrus to finish clean rather than assertive.

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.
