NORM

Tap to rate

White grape, melon, citrus zest and tropical fruit roll over a soft peachy base, with Enigma and Ekuanot among the hops, for a juicy East Coast character. Norm is Marble's tribute to the quintessential regular, a 4.5% hazy pale ale brewed with barley, oats and wheat, with personality and a streak of nostalgia. It is vegan and part of the Specials.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for NORM

◎ Appearance

Norm presents a hazy golden-amber body with a veil of suspended yeast that softens the light transmission. A substantial cream-colored head forms on the pour and clings persistently to the glass, leaving fine traces of lacing as the beer descends. Moderate carbonation lifts the haze gently throughout the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with stone fruit and white grape notes, supported by Enigma and Ekuanot hops that layer melon and tropical citrus zest. A soft peachy warmth emerges beneath the fruit, while the barley-oat-wheat grain bill contributes a subtle doughy undertone without dominating the profile.

◐ Taste

Entry brings juicy tropical and white grape flavors forward, followed by a medium body softened by oats and wheat. The moderate 40 IBU bitterness integrates cleanly rather than asserting itself, allowing the stone fruit sweetness and citrus zest to persist through the mid-palate. Balanced and approachable, with no harsh edges.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and medium in length, with lingering peachy and citrus notes that fade gradually rather than abruptly. A light, dry quality emerges as the beer clears, leaving minimal aftertaste.
