Ale no. 4

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with bright clarity and good translucence. The head forms with moderate density and holds with fair retention, leaving fine lacing on the glass. Carbonation is visible and brisk, contributing to a lively presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—lemon zest and grapefruit—underpinned by tropical fruit character from the Citra hops. A subtle malt foundation provides softness, while the hop character remains prominent and aromatic without turning harsh or medicinal.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and light-bodied, with citrus and stone-fruit flavors developing across the palate. The bitterness is moderate and well-integrated, neither aggressive nor fading; the malt backbone contributes gentle sweetness without heaviness. The finish dries cleanly with lingering hop definition.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is refreshing and relatively short, with fading citrus notes and a subtle bitter edge. No cloying sweetness or astringency lingers.
