Off Season

◎ Appearance

Off Season presents a clear, deep amber hue with a subtle reddish undertone characteristic of the Red Ale style. A full, creamy head forms on the pour with good retention and distinct lacing around the glass. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating fine bubbles that rise steadily.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—particularly grapefruit—layered beneath earthy, resinous pine from the American hop blend. Caramel Malz sweetness provides a warm, toasted backbone, while subtle spicy rye grain emerges on closer inspection. The overall aromatic profile is inviting and moderately intense, with neither hops nor malt dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with caramel sweetness and a distinctive spicy rye character that builds through the mid-palate. American hops deliver persistent grapefruit and resinous notes, adding both fruit and herbal dimension. The 28 IBU bitterness is restrained but present, finishing with a dry, slightly astringent quality that prevents any cloying sensation.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, with the resinous, dank pine character lingering pleasantly on the palate. A subtle hop-driven bitterness fades gradually, leaving behind a clean, slightly dry aftertaste with traces of caramel Malz warmth.
