Babel New York #05
Pale Ale 5.5 º
This American Pale Ale presents a vibrant sensory balance, showcasing the classic interplay between assertive New World hops and a supportive malt backbone. A bright bouquet of grapefruit zest and resinous pine leads the experience, underpinned by a clean, neutral malt profile reminiscent of fresh bread and light toast. At 5.5% ABV, the palate is refreshed by a moderate bitterness that cuts through the subtle sweetness of the grain, leading to a crisp, dry finish. The fermentation character remains exceptionally clean, allowing the hop-derived notes of citrus and light tropical fruit to remain the focal point of this approachable yet characterful craft staple.
Appearance. Pale golden to light amber (6–9 SRM); moderately large white head with good retention and light lacing; brilliant clarity.
Aroma. Moderate-high intensity featuring citrus zest, floral notes, and a touch of resinous pine; low, bready and slightly grainy malt aroma supports the hops; clean fermentation profile with minimal esters.
Taste. Initial hop-forward impression of citrus and pine resin followed by a supportive, low-intensity bready malt sweetness; moderate bitterness provides a firm but balanced structure; clean, medium-dry finish with a lingering, non-harsh hop aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body; moderate-high carbonation; smooth texture without astringency; very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
