Ghost River Golden Ale

◎ Aussehen

A bright golden hue with excellent clarity and fine, steady carbonation. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with good retention, leaving delicate lacing on each sip. The overall presentation is inviting and translucent, characteristic of a well-crafted pale ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose is straightforward and approachable, with soft breadiness and light grain character from the wheat component. Low but perceptible noble hop notes emerge beneath, offering subtle citrus undertones without aggressive assertiveness. Clean fermentation character dominates, allowing the malt and adjunct to speak clearly.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and light-bodied, with the wheat providing a gentle, creamy mouthfeel that belies the moderate alcohol. The palate shows balanced malty sweetness with restrained bitterness—the 20 IBU integration is clean and non-abrasive. Mid-palate remains crisp and refreshing, with subtle citrus and grain notes that sustain interest without heaviness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and quick, leaving no lingering sweetness or harsh tannins. A faint malty dryness and gentle hop character fade cleanly into a refreshing aftertaste.
