28 Pale Ale

◎ Appearance

28 Pale Ale presents a deep amber hue with good clarity and an off-white head that settles to a thin, persistent collar. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, contributing to steady lacing down the glass as you drink. The beer sits medium in body, suggesting restrained alcohol and a balanced malt foundation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and grapefruit notes, underscored by passionfruit and a suggestion of lychee. Beneath the fruit-forward hop character lies a sweet, biscuit-driven malt base that grounds the aromatics without overshadowing them. The natural hop selection delivers a clean, herbaceous accent without aggressive resinous notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and approachable, with citrus and stone fruit notes developing across the mid-palate alongside soft peach character. The malt sweetness remains restrained, allowing tropical and fruity hop qualities to define the drinking experience. Bitterness builds gradually but stays balanced, finishing clean without harsh edges.

◑ Finish

The finish is smooth and lightly bitter, with no harsh residue or astringency. Citrus and fruit notes linger moderately, fading into a clean, refreshing aftertaste that invites another sip.

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.
