Charnwood APA

◎ Appearance

A bright golden amber hue with good clarity and a white head of moderate density that settles to a thin collar with modest lacing. The carbonation is lively and consistent, supporting steady visual effervescence throughout the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with citrus and piney resin notes from the Cascade and Centennial hops, followed by herbal and subtle stone fruit character. A light malt backbone of biscuit and honey provides balance, while the four-hop blend creates a layered and inviting hoppy profile without harshness.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with crisp malt sweetness and a clean, light body that carries the citrus and floral notes forward. The bitterness is assertive and well-integrated at 38 IBUs, building gradually through the mid-palate with herbal and earthy notes from Chinook and Centennial, finishing with a pleasant dry quality.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length with a lingering hop bitterness that fades to a dry, slightly herbal aftertaste. No astringency or harshness remains, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for the next sip.
