4 Pines New World Pale Ale

◎ Appearance

Pours straw to golden with a gentle haze from the wheat addition, presenting as slightly cloudy rather than opaque. A soft white head forms and maintains reasonable retention across the glass. The body reads translucent, allowing light to pass through while the fine particulate suspension catches the eye.

◌ Aroma

The hop blend—Citra, Galaxy, and Nelson Sauvin—articulates clearly on the nose, leading with green melon and passionfruit before revealing citrus zest. A grassy, herbal undertone threads through the fruit, grounding the composition without becoming dominant. The extra pale Malz base remains restrained, allowing the hop character to occupy the foreground.

◐ Taste

Entry presents a crisp citrus bite with tropical fruit notes that develop into a fuller mid-palate. The bitterness registers as grassy rather than resinous, sitting in balance with the light to medium body. The pale Malz foundation provides minimal sweetness, letting the hop-driven fruitiness and herbal spice dominate without becoming harsh.

◑ Finish

The finish arrives short and cooling, with a clean fade that does not linger. The moderate alcohol (4.2%) ensures the beer closes refreshingly without warming sensations or prolonged aftertaste.
