Pastel is a vibrant American Pale Ale that highlights the multifaceted nature of Simcoe hops. The sensory profile is defined by an immediate burst of tropical fruit—think passion fruit and ripe mango—intermingled with a subtle, resinous pine undertone characteristic of the variety. Brewed with a focus on drinkability at a sessionable strength, it presents a soft, fluffy texture that carries the hops across the palate without overwhelming bitterness. A lean, neutral malt base provides just enough support to keep the focus entirely on the bright, citrusy hop character, resulting in a clean and refreshing finish that invites another sip.
Appearance.Pale golden (6 SRM) with a slight haze and a moderately large, frothy white head that exhibits good retention and leaves delicate lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring distinct notes of tropical fruit, passion fruit, and citrus zest, complemented by a signature Simcoe resinous pine. A low, neutral maltiness offers a faint bready backdrop, while fermentation remains clean with only a hint of fruity yeast esters.
Taste.The palate opens with vibrant hop flavors of mango and citrus. The bitterness is moderate and well-integrated, never becoming harsh. A supporting malt character of light crackers and grain provides balance. The finish is clean and medium-dry, with a lingering tropical and resinous hop aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a soft, rounded texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a refreshing prickle that enhances the beer's vibrancy. No alcohol warmth is present.
