Payette Pale Ale

◎ Aussehen

Payette Pale Ale presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright luminosity. The head forms quickly and maintains a fine, persistent collar with good lacing retention down the glass. Carbonation is crisp and active, evidenced by a steady stream of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes—predominantly grapefruit and lime—layered over a herbaceous, grassy character from the Cascade hops. Beneath the hop-forward aromatics, a delicate caramel malt sweetness provides subtle backbone without dominating. The overall impression is clean and inviting, with no yeast-derived esters or oxidative notes.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is crisp and dry, with Cascade hops delivering immediate citrus bite balanced by a whisper of crystal malt sweetness. The mid-palate maintains good hop presence with herbaceous depth, while moderate bitterness (38 IBU) builds gradually rather than aggressively. The body is light to medium, allowing the hop and malt characters to articulate without heaviness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and dry, with lingering citrus and herbal notes that fade gracefully. Bitterness persists as a pleasant, non-astringent aftertaste without any sharp edges.

Serviertemperatur 7–10°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.

Der Klassiker — vielseitig, angenehm zu halten und hält das Bier kühl. Kein Schnickschnack: nur das Bier.
