Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Andy Smash
◎ Appearance
Golden-amber hue with a distinctly cloudy, hazy presentation characteristic of its style rework. The head forms quickly and maintains fair retention with good Schaumkleiden along the glass. Bright carbonation produces an active, appetizing mousse.
◌ Aroma
Orange peel and citrus dominate the nose, supported by bright tropical fruit notes of pineapple and guava. A soft, lightly sweet Malz undertone provides balance without overshadowing the hop-driven character. The overall impression is clean and inviting, with no harsh or oxidised elements.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with an immediate fruit-punch character—pineapple and tropical stone fruit meld seamlessly with the pale Malz foundation. Bitterness remains minimal, allowing the Amarillo, BRU-1 and El Dorado hops to express their fruity facets rather than resinous or herbal qualities. A gentle, lightly sweet malt backbone carries through the mid-palate without heaviness.
◑ Finish
Clean and smooth, with the fruity character fading gracefully into a dry, slightly sweet denouement. No sharp edges or lingering harshness; the finish invites another sip.
