Project Butterfly
Bright, lemony and herbal in its hop character, this light pale ale has a faintly citrusy nose and a clean, fleeting finish. At just 3.1% ABV and 14 IBU it aims for a flavorful low-ABV experience, and it is brewed gluten removed at Second Street in Santa Fe.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Project Butterfly
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
