◎ Appearance
A bright, pale golden hue characteristic of well-crafted pale ales, with excellent clarity that suggests careful brewing technique. The unfiltered nature contributes to a subtle haze that catches the light beautifully. Expect a fluffy, white head with good retention that slowly dissipates into a fine lacing.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with vibrant citrus and tropical fruit notes from the hop selection, layered with clean malt undertones that ground the profile. Fresh, grassy hop character dominates without being aggressive, while subtle fruity esters from the yeast add complexity. The unfiltered nature allows aromatic compounds to fully express themselves.
◐ Taste
A crisp entry reveals bright citrus flavors and a balanced malty sweetness that prevents the hop bitterness from becoming harsh. The mid-palate showcases layered hop character with a dry, clean grain backdrop that maintains excellent refreshment. The 35 IBU bitterness level provides structure without overwhelming the fruity, fruity complexity.
◑ Finish
The finish is exceptionally clean and dry, with lingering citrus notes that fade gracefully into a subtle grain character. A light, refreshing aftertaste invites another sip without any cloying residue.
