Pete's Pale Ale
Dry and slightly bitter, this SMASH pale ale is built on 2-Row malt and Simcoe hops alone, which is exactly how the brewery describes it. Pete's Pale Ale runs at 4.7% ABV, 25 IBU and 2.6 SRM. It is one of the brewery's Limited Releases, and its recipe keeps to one malt and one hop.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Pete's Pale Ale
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.
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.
