Pale Ale Citra

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, inviting shine. A generous white head forms readily and clings persistently to the glass, displaying fine Schaumhaftung. Carbonation appears lively and well-integrated, with a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant Citra hop character — prominent grapefruit zest and lime pith, underscored by stone fruit notes of apricot and peach. A subtle herbal undertone balances the citrus exuberance, while a delicate malty backbone provides restraint. The aroma is fresh and forward, characteristic of single-batch brewing and careful hop handling.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and hop-driven, with tropical fruit — mango and guava — building across the mid-palate alongside stone fruit sweetness. The bitterness is medium and composed, arriving cleanly without harshness, and lingers with clarity rather than harshness. A light malt sweetness supports the hops without overwhelming, allowing the Citra character to remain the focus throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with the promised hop bitterness extending pleasantly into the aftertaste. Peach and citrus notes persist without becoming astringent, leaving the palate refreshed and inviting another sip.
