Alder Beer Co. Ohana
This Specialty IPA presents an atypical profile for the style, marrying the dark, roasted aesthetics suggested by the style parameters with the sharp, spicy character of rye. The aroma is high in intensity, driven by the tropical stone fruit and pineapple of Nectaron and the signature white-wine and gooseberry notes of Nelson Sauvin, underpinned by a faint hint of toast. On the palate, a firm bitterness balances a complex malt bill where peppery rye meets restrained chocolate notes. The finish is notably dry and crisp, showcasing a unique harmony between New Zealand hop varieties and a smooth, dark malt foundation.
Appearance. Dark brown to black color (35 SRM). Clear with a persistent, moderate-sized tan head and excellent lacing.
Aroma. High hop intensity featuring prominent stone fruit and pineapple from Nectaron, alongside the gooseberry and white wine character of Nelson Sauvin. Underlying this is a spicy, peppery rye malt note and very low hints of toasted bread and light chocolate.
Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with stone fruit and tropical flavors. The mid-palate introduces a medium-low malt flavor characterized by peppery rye spice and restrained, debittered chocolate notes. Firm bitterness leads into a dry, slightly lingering finish with a clean fermentation profile.
Mouthfeel. Smooth, medium body with moderate carbonation. A light, integrated alcohol warmth is present, and the rye contributes a subtle, pleasant graininess without harshness.
