Dumbstruck

Tap to rate

Citra hops give this American Pale Ale the aroma and taste of a tropical fruit salad with papaya, mango and passion fruit. A US West Coast yeast ferments the beer to underline that aroma even further, on a base of barley malt. Dumbstruck belongs to the year-round range of Jakobsland Brewers and is vegan.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy tropical and citrus notes that mirror the aroma, carried on a light to medium body with smooth texture. Moderate bitterness from the 30 IBUs arrives mid-palate without harshness, balancing the fruit-forward character. The barley malt base provides subtle sweetness and a touch of breadiness that grounds the hop expression.
