American Pale Ale 5.6 º

Beak

This American Pale Ale highlights a modern hop profile, saturated with Zumo and Cashmere hops sourced from the Pacific Northwest. The sensory experience is led by a vibrant, citrus-forward intensity featuring notes of lemon zest and freshly squeezed lime, layered over softer nuances of honeydew melon and ripe peach. A subtle hint of coconut from the Cashmere hops adds a unique complexity to the tropical character. Supporting this is a clean, neutral malt base that provides just enough structure without overshadowing the hops. It finishes crisp and bright, balancing moderate bitterness with a refreshing fruit-forward clarity that defines the style's modern evolution.

Appearance. Pale golden (approx. 6 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a moderately large, fluffy white head that demonstrates good retention and leaves delicate lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderately high hop intensity featuring a complex array of citrus and stone fruit. Distinct aromas of lime juice, lemon peel, and peach predominate, with a low, sweet coconut undertone. The malt is low and neutral, offering a light crackery or grainy scent. Fermentation esters are low and clean.

Taste. The initial impression is hop-driven, mirroring the aroma with vibrant lime, lemon zest, and melon flavors. The mid-palate reveals a soft peach sweetness and a trace of creamy coconut. Moderate bitterness provides a firm backbone, cutting through the fruitiness. The malt remains supportive with a light bready character. Finishes dry and clean with a lingering lime-pith aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Moderate to high carbonation provides a refreshing prickle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is negligible, and the finish is devoid of astringency or harshness.
