Aroma Comment on malt, hops, esters, and other aromatics

aroma baixo de malte que remete a grãos e cereais, lúpulo predomina com intensidade media-alta, notas de frutas amarelas maduras (manga) e cítricas (laranja e maracuja) e resinoso, sem ésteres ou aromas de fermentação melão

Appearance Comment on color, clarity, and head (retention, color, and texture)

coloração amarela com turbidez média. colarinho off-white com bolha pequenas de média formação e retenção

Flavor Comment on malt, hops, fermentation characteristics, balance, finish/aftertaste, and other flavor characteristics

o sabor correspondente ao aroma, onde o lupulo predomina com intensidade media-alta. notas de frutas amarelas maduras (manga) e cítricas (laranja) e resinoso. malte bem sutil quase nulo remetendo a grãos. fermentação limpa. dulçor baixo e amargor médio. final semi-seco, mas com dulçor residual médio-baixo e notas citricas e resinosas. cerveja equilibrada tendendo mais para o lúpulo.

Mouthfeel Comment on body, carbonation, warmth, creaminess, astringency, and other palate sensations

corpo médio-baixo, textura suave, carbonatação média-baixa, calor alcoolico médio-baixo e picancia, mas sem atrapalhar. adstringencia média-baixa

Overall Impression Comment on overall drinking pleasure associated with entry, give suggestions for improvement

belo exemplo de uma ipa amerciana (pra se beber aos litros), mas sugiro alguns pequenos ajustes. sinto falta de uma aroma de lúpulo mais intenso e com maior persistência. uma carga maior no whirlpool e/ou no dry hop seria interessante. outra sugestão é diminuir o dulçor residual e o corpo da cerveja.
