Snowshoe Pale

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity, revealing the unfiltered character typical of the brewery's house style. A bright white head forms readily and clings persistently to the glass, creating fine lacing on each sip. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, driving continuous streams of small bubbles through the body.

◌ Aroma

Simcoe dry-hopping dominates the nose with pronounced citrus and floral character — tangerine zest and violet notes emerge clearly on the first approach. Beneath the hop profile, organic base malts contribute a subtle grain sweetness and light biscuit undertone that grounds the aromatic composition. The nose remains crisp and clean, with no yeast-derived esters or oxidative notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is bright and refreshing, with hop bitterness asserting itself immediately across the palate. The mid-palate develops a balanced interplay of citrus flavors and a light malt backbone, kept lean and crisp by the 4.5% ABV. Bitterness builds steadily through the tasting and resolves into a distinctly dry, hoppy finish with no residual sweetness.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and lingering, with dry hop character persisting on the palate and in the throat. Clean mineral notes emerge late, underscoring the all-day drinkability that defines this session IPA.
