Norn Pale Ale

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with bright clarity and fine carbonation. The head forms quickly and maintains solid retention, leaving delicate lacing on the glass as it recedes. The overall presentation is clean and inviting, characteristic of a well-crafted American Pale Ale.

◌ Aroma

A vibrant hop-forward nose dominates, with Cascade, Cashmere, Citra, and Mosaic creating a complex blend of grapefruit zest, fresh pine, and citrus flower notes. Beneath the aromatic hops lies a subtle bready maltiness that grounds the profile without competing. The overall impression is clean, bright, and distinctly Pacific Northwest in character.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with immediate hop presence—citrus and tropical fruit notes develop across the mid-palate, complemented by orange peel bitterness. A balanced malt backbone provides moderate sweetness and breadiness without overshadowing the hop character. The finish transitions to a crisp, dry bitterness with lingering citrus notes.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste is clean and refreshing, with hop bitterness lingering pleasantly without harsh edges. A dry, citrus-tinged conclusion invites another sip.
