Country Ride

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with bright clarity and good light transmission. A modest but stable white head forms and clings lightly to the glass wall as the beer is consumed. Carbonation is lively without aggression, evident in a steady stream of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with clean, bright citrus notes—grapefruit and light orange peel—underscored by a delicate floral character that recalls noble hops. A gentle breadiness from the malt base provides backbone without eclipsing the hop aromatics. No yeast esters or sulfur present; the profile is straightforward and inviting.

◐ Taste

The palate enters clean and crisp, with the malt quickly establishing a bready, slightly sweet foundation that prevents harshness. Mid-palate brings forward the hop bitterness in measured waves—citrus and a touch of tropical fruit—while maintaining a dry mineral edge. The finish transitions from sweet malt to assertive but balanced bitterness, lingering without cloying.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is moderately dry, with residual bitterness from the hop bill persisting for several seconds. A faint malt sweetness retreats gracefully, leaving the palate clean and ready for the next sip.
