Wildlands BC Pale Ale

◎ Aussehen

Straw-coloured and transparent, with a pale golden hue that speaks to the restraint of the grain bill. A modest white head forms and disperses quickly, leaving only brief traces of lacing. Carbonation is visibly brisk, with steady streams of fine bubbles rising through the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with citrus—grapefruit peel and lemon zest—from noble hops grown in British Columbia. Behind this sits a clean, understated malt character: cracker-like, biscuity notes that provide ballast without demanding attention. No yeast esters or adjuncts intrude; the profile remains tightly focused on the hop-malt conversation.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is crisp and light, the citrus notes from the aroma carrying through with precision. The malt base—thin but present—offers a dry, biscuit-like foundation that allows the hops to articulate without obstruction. Bitterness arrives at 23 IBU with a firm, drying hand on the mid-palate and finish, clean and defined rather than harsh.

◑ Abgang

The finish is short and decisive, the modest bitterness lingering just long enough to punctuate the palate before fading. No lingering sweetness or astringency—the beer exits clean, leaving a refreshed sensation.
