Modern Pale

Tap to rate

A pale ale with a hop profile from Mosaic in the brewhouse and Citra in the dry hop. Wheat and oats give it a fuller body and a bit of haze. The label shows a photographic exploration of modernist textures found in the urban landscapes of Copenhagen and Milan.

◌ Aroma

Citrus and stone fruit dominate the nose, driven by Citra's characteristic grapefruit and peach notes layered with Mosaic's floral and herbal undertones. Wheat and oat adjuncts soften the profile with a subtle grain sweetness and biscuit character that grounds the aromatic complexity.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with ripe citrus and peach, moving into a full, rounded mid-palate where wheat and oat lend a soft, mouth-filling presence. Bitterness arrives measured and clean—neither aggressive nor subdued—balancing the inherent fruit character and malty foundation without overwhelming sweetness.

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.
