4 Pines Pacific Ale

◎ Appearance

Pours a hazy golden colour beneath a fine, stable white head. The turbidity is characteristic of the style, with light suspended matter diffusing the colour evenly throughout. Head retention is firm, with clean Schaumkleiden clinging to the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical stone fruit: passionfruit and pineapple dominate, undercut by a green pear note. Behind the hop-driven fruit lies a soft foundation of bread and saline cracker—restrained Malz support rather than malt-forward character. The overall impression is aromatic without being assertive.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and gently sweet, with the tropical fruit from the nose translating into the palate. Mid-palate remains smooth and light, the fruit character carrying the modest alcohol load. Bitterness is restrained at 15 IBU, arriving late and dry without any harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is quick and clean, drying rapidly with only a trace of herbal bitterness lingering briefly. No sticky sweetness remains; the aftertaste is dry and refreshing.
