Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Ultra Cloud
◎ Appearance
Ultra Cloud presents a dense, hazy straw colour with suspended yeast creating a characteristic turbidity throughout. The head forms with modest retention, and fine carbonation rises steadily through the glass. The overall impression is one of soft, approachable opacity rather than aggressive cloudiness.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with ripe tropical stone fruit—lychee and guava dominate the immediate attack, followed by a creamy mango gelato note that adds textural warmth. A single-hop expression of Citra yields clean citrus undertones without harshness, allowing the fruit-forward character to remain in the foreground.
◐ Taste
Entry is soft and approachable, with pineapple and papaya notes unfolding across the mid-palate. Bitterness remains restrained at 45 IBU, acting as a frame rather than a focal point, allowing stone fruit and tropical notes to persist. The body is light and refreshing, never turning heavy or astringent.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and zesty, with Citra's citrus character emerging as a light brightening note. Aftertaste remains fruit-forward without lingering bitterness, fading smoothly to a refreshing dryness.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Ultra Cloud

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
