030 Berlin Pale Ale

Tap to rate

A US classic as Lemke reads it: a discreet nose of tropical fruit, citrus and forest honey, then grapefruit and lemon with a subtle bitterness. A compact malt body brings toffee and toast; the mouthfeel is juicy and the finish firm, with herbal nuances. Magnum, Cascade and Centennial hops, 5.0% ABV.

◐ Taste

Grapefruit and lemon dominate the attack, supported by a compact, toasty malt foundation that delivers toffee and caramelized grain character.
