Osiris Pale Ale

Tap to rate

Osiris Pale Ale is a West Coast-style pale ale with an assertive character: a distinct citrus hop punch with spicy, piney edges. Three varieties of American hops go into it, and every batch is dry-hopped toward the end of fermentation. It lands at 5.7% ABV and 50 IBU from Sun King, the Indianapolis brewery founded by Dave Colt and Clay Robinson.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a sharp citrus bite that transitions into a balanced middle where piney, spicy hop character takes center stage. The 50 IBU bitterness is assertive but controlled, never overwhelming the underlying malt sweetness. The beer finishes crisp and refreshing, with a light body that supports rather than competes with the hop profile.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with residual hop bitterness and resin fading gradually into a clean palate. A pleasant spice tingle persists for several seconds after swallowing.

Serve at 7–10°C

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.

Pint glass

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.
