Dead Rise

◎ Appearance

Dead Rise presents a pale golden hue typical of a summer ale, with good clarity and a fine, stable white head that builds readily on the pour. Carbonation is brisk and visible, creating steady streams of bubbles that maintain clean lacing along the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—lemon and grapefruit zest—from the noble hops, supported by a subtle spice character from the Old Bay seasoning that adds complexity without dominating. Light, clean malt backbone provides a soft grain foundation, allowing the aromatic elements to shine through.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and refreshing, with citrus hop character moving through the mid-palate alongside a gentle spice complexity that recalls the beer's heritage anniversary collaboration. A tart, clean finish cuts through cleanly with moderate bitterness (40 IBU), leaving no heavy residue—the malt provides just enough body to balance the acidity without weighing down the overall impression.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is dry and refreshing, with lingering citrus notes and a whisper of spice that fade cleanly. No harsh bitterness or cloying sweetness—this beer closes with purpose and clarity.
