Idaho Pale

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with good retention. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, producing a steady stream of small bubbles that maintain the foam structure throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh citrus—predominantly grapefruit and lemon zest—supported by subtle stone fruit notes that suggest apricot or peach. Clean maltiness provides a soft foundation without asserting itself, while the single Idaho hop varietal delivers a crisp, herbaceous character with minimal yeast phenolics.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and refreshing, with immediate citrus brightness meeting a delicate malt sweetness. The mid-palate remains lean and dry, allowing the hop bitterness—measured at 40 IBU—to emerge as balanced rather than aggressive, finishing with a subtle fruit-forward complexity that does not overwhelm the low alcohol character.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and relatively short, with lingering citrus notes fading to a light herbal dryness. At 4.3% ABV, the beer concludes clean and sessionable, leaving no warming alcohol or heavy residue on the palate.
