Abbeydale Brewery’s Colibri is a remarkably sessionable American Pale Ale that captures the essence of its 'Hummingbird' namesake through a delicate and vibrant sensory profile. It pours with brilliant clarity, offering a refreshing invitation. The nose is greeted by moderate intensities of zesty citrus and light floral notes, underpinned by a lean, grainy-sweet malt foundation. On the palate, the experience is bright and crisp, featuring a gentle bitterness that balances the zesty hop flavors without overpowering the light frame. The finish is short and clean, emphasizing a dry, refreshing quality that makes this low-ABV pale ale exceptionally drinkable and poised.
Appearance.Pale golden (SRM 5) with brilliant clarity. It supports a moderately large, frothy white head with good retention and delicate lacing.
