Sober Brummie Pale Ale

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with bright clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a gentle foam collar that gradually recedes. The beer presents a clean, inviting visual profile typical of well-crafted pale ales.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh citrus notes—lemon zest and grapefruit—driven by judicious triple-hopping with noble varieties. Beneath the hop character sits a gentle malt base from British pale floor malt, contributing a soft grain sweetness without heaviness. The overall impression is clean and refreshing, with no solvent or yeast-derived off-notes.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is light-bodied and dry, allowing the hop bitterness to register clearly at 40 IBU without dominating the palate. Citrus and floral notes develop through the mid-palate, balanced by restrained malt sweetness that keeps the beer approachable. The finish is clean and dry, with lingering hop bitterness and a subtle herbal quality.

◑ Abgang

The finish is brief to medium in length, fading to a dry, slightly peppery aftertaste. No residual sweetness or heaviness lingers, making this beer highly drinkable and refreshing.
