Alf

◎ Appearance

Alf presents a pale golden hue with a subtle cloudiness from its wheat component and Vermont yeast contribution. The head is dense and pillowy, building with vigor and clinging to the glass in a fine, persistent lace. Moderate carbonation animates the body without excessive effervescence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent stone fruit character—peach and apricot—layered beneath bright tropical notes of pineapple and passionfruit from the Mosaic, Enigma, and Denali hops. A distinctive dank, herbal edge emerges beneath the fruit, while the Vermont yeast contributes a subtle esters and soft wheat complexity. The overall impression is aromatic and herb-forward without aggression.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with the protein-heavy grist delivering genuine fullness across the mid-palate. Stone fruit and tropical fruit flavors dominate the center, supported by a grainy, slightly sweet Malz foundation. Bitterness arrives measured at 35 IBU, with a dry, resinous quality that lingers without dominating; the dank character from yeast and hops adds complexity rather than harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with the herbal and resinous notes extending into a pleasant, slightly astringent aftertaste. Fruit character fades gradually, leaving behind a clean, grain-driven conclusion.
