Ariscona American Pale Ale captures the essence of classic West Coast inspiration, bridging Uruguayan craft with Californian soul. A prominent sensory profile driven by Cascade and Amarillo hops delivers a vibrant bouquet of grapefruit, orange zest, and delicate floral notes. Beneath this citrus-forward intensity lies a supportive foundation of neutral pale malt, offering subtle hints of toasted bread and light caramel. The gold-hued pour is balanced and exceptionally drinkable, reflecting the storied friendship that inspired its recipe. It finishes clean with a moderate bitterness that invites another sip, embodying a bright and refreshing American Pale Ale.
