Pale Ale 6 º

Almanac Beer Company

This American Pale Ale presents a unique, sophisticated fusion of bright citrus and subtle wood character. Built on a foundation of California two-row barley, it showcases a vibrant sensory profile driven by the addition of Mandarin oranges. Bold aromas of grapefruit and floral notes from Cascade hops mingle with the herbal, resinous depth of Columbus hops. A subtle Belgian influence introduces light fruity esters, while a brief rest on toasted American oak provides a whisper of vanilla and structure. The result is a refreshing, hop-forward experience with a crisp finish and complex layers of sun-ripened fruit and gentle spice.

Appearance. Pale golden to deep gold (SRM 6-8); moderately large white head with good retention and lacing; generally clear.

Aroma. Moderately high intensity featuring prominent Mandarin orange zest and citrusy Cascade hops; secondary notes of resinous Columbus and a faint hint of toasted American oak; low grainy-sweet malt and light fruity esters.

Taste. Initial burst of citrus peel and grapefruit followed by a moderate hop bitterness; the California two-row barley provides a lean, bready malt backbone; subtle wood-derived spice and light fruity esters lead to a clean, dry finish with lingering citrus notes.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body; moderate to high carbonation; overall smooth finish without astringency or harshness; very low alcohol warmth.
