ABYSS Brewing Sun Raw
Pale Ale 5 º
Sun Raw is a vibrant Fruit Beer that elegantly bridges the gap between a crisp Pale Ale and the textural complexity of orange wine. Utilizing grape must from Titch Hill, it presents a unique sensory profile defined by the characteristics of skin-contact viticulture. The nose is greeted by a bright, citrus-forward hop character and distinct floral aromatics reminiscent of elderflower and stone fruit. On the palate, the vinous influence provides a zesty acidity and a whisper of grape-skin tannin, balancing a lean, crackery malt base. The finish is remarkably dry and refreshing, capturing the essence of a low-intervention wine while remaining firmly rooted in its refreshing ale origins.
Appearance. Pours a hazy, pale gold to light amber (SRM 5–7). Topped by a frothy, off-white head with moderate retention and light lacing. The inclusion of grape skins lends a slight orange tint to the hue.
Aroma. High intensity with a complex bouquet of white grape must, apricot, and orange zest. Moderate floral hop character interacts with a light, bready malt background. Subtle earthy notes and a clean fermentation profile allow the fruit to dominate.
Taste. Initial impression is tart and refreshing with pronounced flavors of white wine grapes and citrus peel. Low bready malt sweetness is quickly overtaken by a moderate hop bitterness and vinous acidity. The finish is very dry and crisp, with a lingering note of grape skin and floral hops. No harsh alcohol or cloying sweetness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a crisp, slightly lean texture. High carbonation provides a lively, spritzy sensation. A very light tannic astringency from the grape skins adds structure without being drying. Low alcohol warmth.
