Barfuss Brauerei

Pale Moon is a highly refreshing and approachable American Pale Ale designed for effortless drinkability. The sensory experience is defined by a vibrant tropical fruit bouquet, driven by the expressive combination of Citra and Mosaic hops. Expect bright notes of mango, passion fruit, and citrus zest layered over a clean, lean malt backbone. With its sessionable alcohol content, it provides a crisp, balanced profile where the modern hop character remains the star without being overwhelmed by intense bitterness. It concludes with a tidy, thirst-quenching finish that invites another sip, perfectly embodying a light yet aromatically dense craft experience.

Appearance. Pale golden color (approx. 5–6 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a moderately large, frothy white head that exhibits good retention and leaves light lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate to high hop intensity featuring a complex array of tropical fruits including mango, guava, and pineapple, alongside bright grapefruit citrus from the Citra and Mosaic hops. Supporting this is a low, neutral bready malt character and a clean fermentation profile with very low fruity esters.

Taste. The initial impression is hop-forward, showcasing punchy tropical fruit and citrus flavors. A moderate hop bitterness provides balance to a subtle, light grainy-sweet malt base. The fermentation is clean, allowing the late-addition hop flavors to shine. The finish is medium-dry and crisp, with a lingering but gentle citrus peel aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, refreshing texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, enhancing the beer's crispness. No alcohol warmth is detectable given the sessionable strength, and it is free from astringency.
