Vallejo

◎ Appearance

Vallejo presents a pale golden hue with bright clarity and excellent transparency. The head forms quickly and recedes to a thin, persistent collar with fine lacing that clings to the glass. Carbonation is brisk and well-defined, creating a lively bead that sustains throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with stone fruit character—white grape and under-ripe peach dominate the top notes with a clean, crisp edge. Supporting notes of light citrus zest and subtle cracker-like Malz character emerge as the beer warms, with Edelhopfen contributing a lean, mineral-forward quality without heavy floral or resinous intensity.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright stone fruit and crisp peach notes that give way to a clean, cracker-dry Malz foundation. West-coast hop bitterness arrives mid-palate at a measured 60 IBU, providing structure without dominating the fruit-forward profile. The finish is bone-dry and refreshing, with lingering peach and a subtle tropical undertone balancing the restraint.

◑ Finish

The finish is short to medium, clean and crisp with no sticky residue. Peach and subtle citrus fade quickly, leaving a refreshing, palate-cleansing dryness ideal for warm-weather consumption.
