Neptune is an innovative American Pale Ale that bridges the gap between traditional craft brewing and the ocean's depths through the infusion of organic Royal Kombu. The sensory experience begins with a clean, supportive malt base that allows a bright New World hop presence to shine. The addition of seaweed introduces a captivating savory complexity, manifesting as distinct notes of toasted hazelnut and a delicate, briny iodine finish reminiscent of sea spray. Refreshing and balanced, this beer maintains the hop-forward character typical of the style while offering a unique, subtle umami depth that elevates its crisp, mineral-inflected finish.
Appearance.Deep gold to pale amber with excellent clarity. It supports a moderately large, creamy white head with persistent retention and fine lacing.
Aroma.Moderate hop aroma featuring citrus zest and light pine, backed by a low grainy malt sweetness. The specialty infusion provides a unique secondary layer of roasted hazelnut and a very faint, clean mineral scent suggestive of ocean air.
Taste.Initial hop-forward bitterness is balanced by a neutral, bready malt character. Mid-palate, the Royal Kombu imparts a subtle savory nuttiness and a trace of saline iodine. Bitterness is moderate but firm, leading into a clean, medium-dry finish where hop flavors and a slight mineral edge linger pleasantly.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, well-attenuated texture. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a crisp, refreshing mouth-coating sensation without any harshness or alcohol heat.
