🌍 France · American Pale Ale · One of 217 American Pale Ales in hopIQ

A Burgundy-inspired pale ale from Dijon — clean, golden and lightly fruity. The name is a playful nod to the region's wine heritage, but the beer is all hops and barley. Approachable bitterness, crisp finish. A perfect gateway craft beer for Dijon.

Aroma

The nose opens with clean, moderately intense hop character—citrus and subtle herbal notes lead the profile. A light malt foundation provides gentle breadiness without competing, while the overall impression remains crisp and inviting rather than aggressive.

Taste

Entry is smooth and balanced, with citrus-forward hop flavors establishing a confident bitterness that sits comfortably at the mid-palate. Supportive malt sweetness and a light fruitiness add dimensionality without masking the core hop character; the 38 IBUs deliver honest bitterness without harshness.
