Information Density — The Lens
Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.

Information density is notably high, characterized by a substance ratio that favors technical data over marketing fluff. For example, the beer and spirits pages provide exact ABV, IBU, and ‘First Brewed’ dates for over a dozen products, alongside specific mash bills like ‘yellow dent corn, winter rye, malted wheat, and two-row barley.’ Headings are mostly functional nouns (product names) rather than power-word-heavy slogans, though some fluff appears in H2s like ‘Our Pride’ and ‘Gear Up!’.
Information Density is read straight from the body copy: how much of the text carries grounded, checkable substance versus hollow filler. Below is the clean text the engine analyzed, then the industry’s known generic-claim patterns to weigh it against.
