Folsom

◎ Appearance

Folsom presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright, lively carbonation throughout. The head forms with modest density and maintains a stable collar of fine bubbles that leaves delicate lacing as the beer is consumed.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a crisp, fruity character—distinct pear notes emerge alongside gentle herbaceous hop notes from the two varieties in the grist. A soft malt foundation provides balance, allowing the hop and fruit aromatics to remain in the foreground without overwhelming the profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and refreshingly dry, with the pear fruit character evident on the palate. Mid-palate reveals a tangy hop bite balanced against a gentle malt sweetness, creating a complex interplay of bitterness and mellow grain notes that finishes cleaner than the ABV might suggest.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is moderately long and hoppy, with lingering bitterness supported by a faint malt sweetness. The overall impression remains crisp and drinkable, with no warming alcohol heat.
