Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Ægir India Pale Ale
◎ Appearance
Ægir IPA presents a bright golden hue with excellent clarity that showcases the beer's crisp character. A white, dense head forms with good retention, supported by lively carbonation that creates a visually inviting presentation.
◌ Aroma
The nose is dominated by vibrant American hop character, with prominent citrus notes of orange and grapefruit layered beneath piney, resinous undertones. Pure Sognefjord water contributes to a clean, mineral-tinged backdrop that allows the hops to shine without any harsh or metallic qualities.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with a medium-full body and assertive hop bitterness that commands attention without overwhelming. Mid-palate develops bright citrus flavors with tropical hints, while a firm, dry bitterness builds steadily toward the finish, creating excellent balance between malt sweetness and hop aggression.
◑ Finish
A firm, dry finish leaves a lingering pine and grapefruit aftertaste that cleanly fades. The 60 IBU bitterness resolves without astringency, leaving the palate refreshed and eager for the next sip.
