Avalanche

◎ Appearance

Avalanche presents a hazy golden-yellow body with a soft, cloudy appearance characteristic of the New England style. A creamy white head forms readily and holds with moderate persistence, leaving delicate lacing on the glass. The slight turbidity from the yeast suspension creates an inviting, approachable visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright citrus and tropical fruit notes, driven by the generous dry hopping. Grapefruit zest, passionfruit, and hints of mango emerge prominently on the first nosing. The malt base remains intentionally subdued, allowing the fruity hop character to lead without competing spice or grassy undertones.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with the same juicy citrus and stone-fruit character established in the aroma, carrying the hop-forward identity through the mid-palate. A gentle, measured bitterness of 40 IBUs provides structure without harshness, while the creamy mouthfeel softens the overall impression. The malt stays deliberately in the background, supporting rather than defining the beer.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with the fruit character persisting into the aftertaste without becoming cloying. A light, lingering dryness closes the experience, inviting another sip.
