Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for IPLager
◎ Appearance
Yellow-orange in color with a faint opalescent haze that catches the light gracefully. The head forms quickly and maintains modest retention with fine, delicate lacing. Carbonation appears brisk and well-integrated, giving the beer a lively visual presence.
◌ Aroma
The hop bouquet leads with red fruit and berry notes—cassis and dark berries dominate the top notes. Floral and spicy undertones from Columbus emerge behind the fruit, while Galena adds a restrained citrus whisper. A subtle malt foundation of Munich and caramel grain rounds out the composition without overshadowing the hop character.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with a clean, malt-forward entry emphasizing Munich grain and subtle caramel sweetness. Mid-palate remains slim-bodied and crisp, allowing Cluster's herbal bitterness to frame the flavor without dominating. The finish integrates hop bitterness (60 IBU) with a dry, refreshing quality that never becomes harsh.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and moderately long, with lingering herbal and floral notes from the dry-hop charge. The aftertaste remains pleasantly dry without astringency, inviting another sip.
