Clipper

◎ Appearance

Clipper presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass. The carbonation is gentle and well-integrated, creating a refined visual presence typical of a cask-conditioned ale. Light catches the beer pleasantly, revealing its pale malt character without any haze or sediment.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with crisp, slightly herbal notes from the Slovenian Celeia hop, offering an inviting green-leafy character. American Bravo and Cascade contribute layered depth with subtle citrus and stone fruit notes, while the Maris Otter malt provides a soft, pale-grain backdrop. The brewery's house yeast remains clean and restrained, allowing the hop profile to remain the focal point without any yeast-driven esters.

◐ Taste

Entry is light and crisp, with the Celeia's herbal bite leading into a mid-palate where the American hops reveal gentle fruitiness and mild resinous depth. The Maris Otter malt offers understated sweetness and a dry, grainy quality that prevents any cloying character. Bitterness is restrained at 15 IBU, integrating smoothly and finishing dry rather than aggressive.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively brief, with lingering herbal and subtle fruity notes fading into a dry, grainy aftertaste. The low alcohol and moderate bitterness allow the beer to remain refreshing and food-friendly.
