Wild Trail Pale Ale

◎ Appearance

Golden-amber in color with bright clarity and a fine, persistent white head that builds well and clings to the glass. Medium carbonation creates steady streams of bubbles rising through the body. The beer presents with clean, inviting translucence that suggests a well-balanced fermentation.

◌ Aroma

Pacific Northwest hops lead with prominent tropical fruit notes—mango and tangerine dominate the opening, complemented by a restrained pine backbone. A subtle floral character emerges on the second nose, likely from dry-hopping. Supporting malt provides a soft, bready foundation that anchors the aromatic profile without overshadowing the hop expression.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with clean malt sweetness carrying orange and tangerine notes that echo the aroma. Mid-palate develops a moderate, well-integrated bitterness (44 IBU) that balances the fruit without dominating; the finish leans dry, with lingering piney and floral hop character. Body is medium and refreshing, making it approachable without sacrificing hop definition.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and medium-length, with piney and floral notes fading gracefully into a mild, pleasant dryness. No astringency or harshness remains—only a refreshing, easy aftertaste suited to repeated sips.
