🌍 Canada · American Pale Ale · One of 220 American Pale Ales in hopIQ

A pale ale built for aroma rather than weight: citrus, stone fruit and a tropical edge come off the hops, with a light grassy note behind them. The malt bill is deliberately simple and stays as pale cracker with a touch of bread, so nothing gets in the way of the hop character. Moderate strength and a crisp, dry finish keep it light on the palate, with bitterness present but restrained.

bright goldenclearfine white headwell-carbonated

Aroma

The nose is dominated by clean, vibrant hop character with distinct citrus and stone fruit notes. Tropical aromatics—mango and pineapple—emerge alongside a subtle grassy undertone that adds complexity without overwhelming. The pale malz base contributes only a faint cracker note, deliberately stepping aside to let the hops sing.

Taste

Entry is light and refreshing, with citrus flavors building quickly across the palate. Mid-palate holds a fine balance of tropical hop character and dry malz backbone—pale cracker with just a whisper of bread. Bitterness is present and clean but never aggressive, finishing crisp and bone-dry.
