4 Pines Pale Ale
Deep golden and bright in the glass. The aroma leads with pine resin and grapefruit, with orange peel behind it. A biscuity malt base carrying light caramel gives the beer weight before the bitterness builds through the second half and dries it out. At 35 IBU the bitter edge is firm but stays smooth rather than sharp, and the citrus runs through to the end. Simcoe, Amarillo and Citra shape the hop character.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for 4 Pines Pale Ale
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
