Pallantia

◎ Appearance

Pallantia presents a pale golden hue with pronounced turbidity characteristic of the New England style. The cloudy appearance comes from suspended yeast and protein, creating a soft, diffuse quality rather than a clear, crystalline one. A modest, creamy head forms and fades gradually, leaving light lacing along the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical and citrus notes—pineapple, passionfruit, and lime zest—typical of modern Edelhopfen varieties in the IPA canon. Beneath lies a soft, bready malt foundation that does not assert itself but provides gentle sweetness and body. Fermentation character is clean and unobtrusive, allowing the hop profile to dominate without yeasty or phenolic distraction.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and creamy, with a well-integrated hop bitterness of 50 IBU that avoids harshness. Tropical and citrus flavors unfold mid-palate—mango, grapefruit, and orange—while a subtle sweetness from the pale malt provides balance and body. The moderate alcohol (6% ABV) keeps the beer refreshing and drinkable, with bitterness tapering smoothly into the finish rather than lingering aggressively.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively brief, with residual hop bitterness fading to a dry, slightly citric aftertaste. No cloying sweetness or harsh tannins persist, leaving the palate ready for the next sip.
