This collaborative American Pale Ale blends British brewing heritage with Brazilian flair. A vibrant hop profile of Centennial, El Dorado, and Amarillo delivers a bright bouquet of orange blossom, zesty citrus, and refreshing watermelon. The malt bill, featuring Rye ale, Amber, and Crystal malts, provides a biscuity and slightly spicy backbone that complements the unique addition of Brazilian pink peppercorns. These botanicals introduce a delicate peppery warmth and subtle juniper-berry notes. Balanced and aromatic, the beer finishes crisp with a lingering botanical spice, showcasing a playful twist on the traditional style through its distinctive fruity and herbal complexity.
Appearance.Deep gold to copper-amber (8–10 SRM). Large, off-white head with good retention and lacing. Generally clear, though a very faint haze from specialty grains may be present.
Aroma.Moderately high hop intensity featuring orange blossom, citrus zest, and melon. The pink peppercorns contribute a subtle peppery spice and juniper-berry note. Low to moderate malt character of toasted bread and a faint, spicy rye graininess supports the aromatics.
Taste.Initial hop-forward impression of citrus and watermelon, followed by a supportive malt profile of biscuit and light caramel. The Rye malt adds an earthy spice that integrates with the mild heat and berry-like flavor of the peppercorns. Moderate bitterness provides a firm balance against the malt. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering fruity and peppery aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation. Smooth finish with very low alcohol warmth. The rye provides a slight silkiness, while the pink peppercorns offer a very faint, pleasant tingle on the palate without astringency.
