Drying Out Place

Tap to rate

A biscuity backbone from Munich malt meets the delicate sweetness of caramalt and a classic amber hue, with a clean bitterness from Columbus. Simcoe, Centennial and Amarillo add depth on the hot side, and a dry hop of Chinook, Cascade, Centennial and Simcoe locks in resinous, citrus aromas. A 5.5% West Coast pale made as a collaboration.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Drying Out Place

◎ Appearance

A clear, classic amber hue with excellent clarity and bright light transmission. The head forms with good density and displays solid Schaumhaftung, gradually settling to a persistent collar around the glass rim. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a lively but not aggressive effervescence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced resinous and citrus notes from the dry hop blend of Chinook, Cascade, Centennial and Simcoe. Beneath the bright hop character sits a clean, supportive maltiness from the Munich and caramel base, with subtle stone fruit undertones. The overall impression is fresh and herbaceous without any harshness or oxidation.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and malty, with the biscuity Munich malt and gentle caramel sweetness establishing a balanced foundation. The mid-palate maintains hop-forward character with pronounced citrus and subtle resinous dryness, while Columbus delivers a crisp, measured bitterness that integrates seamlessly rather than dominating. The finish is dry and gripping without becoming astringent.

◑ Finish

The finish is notably dry and lingering, with a pleasant resinous aftertaste that gradually fades into a clean, hop-driven dryness. The bitterness resolves without leaving any harsh edges, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for the next sip.

Serve at 7–10°C

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.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
