Twin Falls Pale Ale

Tap to rate

A pale ale cut in the northwestern manner, built on Citra, Centennial and Columbus. Grapefruit and lime lead, backed by resinous pine and a spicy, herbal edge, while light caramel and biscuit from English and American malt hold the middle. It pours copper-gold under a creamy off-white head, carries a firm body and closes on a measured bitterness. Named for the falls above the valley.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Twin Falls Pale Ale

◎ Appearance

Twin Falls pours copper-gold with excellent clarity and a creamy off-white head that builds quickly and persists across the glass. The carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, supporting the head's retention with visible fine bubbles rising steadily. Lacing clings to the glass in distinct rings as the head recedes.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus—grapefruit and lime—layered over resinous pine and herbal undertones that develop as the beer warms. English and American malts contribute a soft biscuit foundation beneath the hop character, grounding what could otherwise be one-dimensional. There is no yeast esters or oxidation; the aroma remains clean and well-defined.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and citrus-forward, with grapefruit and lime expanding across the palate before transitioning into a pronounced resinous and piney middle. Caramel sweetness and bready malt texture arrive to balance the herbal and spicy hop intensity, creating a measured interplay rather than an aggressive assault. Bitterness builds steadily but remains restrained, finishing clean without astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is moderately long, with pine and herbal notes fading into a gentle dry bitterness that lingers for several seconds. The residual sweetness from malt balances the fade, leaving a pleasant, slightly spicy aftertaste.
