Banks Brewing SUNSETS
American Pale Ale 5.2 º
Sunsets captures the essence of a California-style American Pale Ale, delivering a bright and punchy hop profile with a refreshing, lean finish. The specific use of Citra and Simcoe, further intensified by Simcoe Cryo, creates a vivid aromatic display of zesty grapefruit, resinous pine, and passionfruit. A clean, neutral malt base allows these American hops to shine with absolute clarity, while the fermentation remains impeccably tidy. This pale ale strikes a purposeful balance between moderate bitterness and high drinkability, ending with a crisp, dry snap that perfectly embodies the sun-drenched, hoppy character of its West Coast inspiration.
Appearance. Pale golden to light amber (6-8 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a moderately large, white, frothy head that exhibits good retention and leaves light lacing on the glass.
Aroma. Moderately high hop intensity featuring dominant notes of grapefruit, passionfruit, and mango from the Citra and Simcoe. A distinct resinous, piney undertone is provided by the Simcoe Cryo. Malt character is low and neutral, suggesting lightly toasted grain, while the fermentation profile is clean and free of significant esters.
Taste. The initial impression is hop-forward, showcasing citrus zest and resinous pine. Moderate bitterness provides a firm structure that balances the lean, crackery malt base. Flavors of tropical fruit and grapefruit peel persist through the mid-palate. The finish is notably dry and crisp, with a clean aftertaste that leaves a lingering, pleasant piney bitterness without harshness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that enhances the crisp, refreshing finish. The mouthfeel is smooth and lacks any astringency, with a very subtle alcohol warmth appropriate for its strength.
