🌍 Australia · American Pale Ale · One of 225 American Pale Ales in hopIQ

An American pale ale carried by a single hop. El Dorado gives citrus and stone fruit, dosed at 3 g/L so the aroma stays bright without turning resinous. Pale malt, Cara-pils and rolled oats keep the base light with a touch of biscuit, and 24 IBU sets a bitterness that closes each mouthful without building up. Golden and clear in the glass, with a short, dry finish.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Beerfarm Pale Ale

Appearance

Golden and clear in the glass, with a bright, luminous hue that speaks to the pale Malz base and judicious use of specialty grains. The head forms with moderate density and displays clean Schaumkleiden as it recedes, indicating good protein balance and carbonation. The beer presents a visually inviting, well-defined clarity without any haze.

golden, clearmoderate head retentionfine carbonation

Aroma

The nose is led by El Dorado's characteristic citrus and stone fruit profile, with distinct notes of peach and subtle orange zest that remain bright rather than resinous. The pale Malz foundation contributes a light, grainy sweetness with touches of biscuit, creating a balanced backdrop. At 3 g/L, the single-hop character avoids herbaceous heaviness, instead offering a clean, inviting opening.

Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, with pale Malz and rolled oats providing a soft, lightly biscuited malt character that avoids heaviness. Mid-palate remains dry and refreshing, allowing the hop-driven citrus to lead while the 24 IBU bitterness integrates smoothly without building astringency. The combination of light body and measured bitterness creates a well-proportioned frame where neither element dominates.

Finish

The finish is short and bone-dry, with the 24 IBU bitterness closing each sip cleanly without lingering harshness. A faint peach note and fading grain sweetness remain as the beer's final impression before rapid fade.
