Union Pale Ale

◎ Appearance

A hazy amber ale with a natural cloudiness from suspended yeast and unfiltered production. The color sits in the amber range, inviting and warm. A dense, persistent white head forms and clings to the glass with good retention and lacing.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and grapefruit notes, backed by exotic tropical fruit character. Amarillo, Simcoe, and Cascade hops deliver resinous herbal undertones, while Centennial and Tradition add subtle spice and floral complexity. The dry-hopping is assertive without overwhelming the base malt character.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with a bright citrus bite grounded by clean pale and Pilsner malt sweetness. Mid-palate develops hoppy bitterness and a dry, slightly resinous texture that builds toward the back of the palate. The 40 IBU provides structure without harshness, allowing the fruity esters to remain prominent throughout.

◑ Finish

A clean, relatively dry finish with lingering grapefruit and herbal bitterness. The aftertaste remains refreshing, with a subtle resinous edge that fades gradually.
