No. 1 Pale Ale

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with light amber undertones, displaying good clarity typical of a well-conditioned cask ale. The head forms with moderate density and shows steady retention, leaving fine lacing along the glass. Carbonation is gentle and restrained, befitting a traditional cask presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with earthy, floral hop character from the Bullion variety, balanced by soft biscuity malt notes. A subtle fruity undertone emerges—green apple and dried stone fruit—adding complexity without assertiveness. Clean fermentation allows the dual-heritage hop character to shine, bridging Old and New World sensibilities.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and approachable, with a bready, biscuit-driven malt foundation. The mid-palate reveals lightly fruity character alongside persistent floral hop notes, while the bittering remains measured at 35 IBU—providing structure without overshadowing the malt sweetness. The body is lean and refreshing, true to the session-ale concept.

◑ Finish

Dry, crisp finish with lingering floral and herbal hop notes fading to a clean palate. The aftertaste leans toward subtle grain and gentle bitterness, inviting another sip.
