Hounds Pale Ale

◎ Appearance

Golden amber hue with excellent clarity and a resilient white head that displays fine lacing retention. Bright carbonation animates the body, creating a lively visual presentation characteristic of a well-crafted pale ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant tropical fruit notes—mango and pineapple—layered with crisp citrus zest from the Citra and Amarillo hops. Underlying pine and herbal complexity from Columbus hops provides depth, with a subtle caramel sweetness from the Caramunich malt emerging on the second pass.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and refreshing, with tropical and citrus flavors taking center stage across the mid-palate. The 40 IBU bittering hosp assert themselves with a pleasant dry bite, while the malt backbone of barley, Caramunich, and Vienna malt provides balance and subtle sweet undertones without overwhelming the hop profile.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with lingering citrus and pine notes fading to a clean, dry conclusion. The bitterness remains present but never harsh, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.
