Scraggy Bay

◎ Appearance

Scraggy Bay presents a clear, bright golden hue that speaks to its accessible character and clean brewing. The head forms with modest density and clings to the glass with steady retention, leaving fine lacing on the walls. Carbonation is brisk and visible, creating an inviting visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with resinous pine and fresh citrus notes, characteristic of American hop varieties working at modest intensity. The Malz base remains neutral and unobtrusive, allowing the hop character to speak freely without competing grain sweetness. The overall impression is crisp and herbaceous rather than heavy.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and direct, with citrus flavors following the aromatics into the palate. The bitterness builds through the mid-palate with a dry, clean quality—structured without harshness or harsh astringency. Malz character remains appropriately restrained, supporting rather than dominating the hop-driven profile.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and moderately persistent, with the bitterness resolving cleanly rather than lingering in a drying manner. A subtle citrus note persists on the aftertaste, encouraging another sip.
