Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Whirlpool
◎ Appearance
Pours a hazy blonde with soft, diffuse clarity characteristic of the New England style. The head is substantial and pillowy, with fine bubbles that maintain good retention and leave delicate lacing on the glass. Bright carbonation is evident throughout, lending an inviting, lively quality to the pour.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with striking ripe peach and clementine notes, driven by the Mosaic and Summer hop blend. Supporting the fruit are gentle citrus accords and a whisper of floral character that adds complexity without overwhelming. Malted grain provides a subtle, clean backbone that keeps the aroma fresh and balanced.
◐ Taste
The palate enters with vibrant citrus and peach character that fills the mouth without aggression. Mid-palate maintains the fruity intensity while remaining crisp and clean, with a light tropical note adding dimension. Bitterness is restrained at 40 IBU, allowing the hop flavour to dominate without astringency—the beer achieves substantial hop presence through flavour rather than bite.
◑ Finish
The finish is dry and refreshing, with citrus notes lingering pleasantly without overstaying. The low ABV and balanced bitterness make this remarkably drinkable, encouraging another sip.
