Doug’s Ale presents as a refreshing Belgian-inspired Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer, distinguished by the addition of hand-harvested Douglas buds. The sensory profile opens with a vibrant bouquet of fresh evergreen and resinous spice, layered over a soft base of malt and subtle fruity esters. The palate is defined by a delicate balance of bready sweetness and the unique herbal punch of spring growth, leading to a remarkably crisp and clean finish. Notes of pine needle and herbal spice linger elegantly on the aftertaste, providing a distinctive botanical character that complements the well-integrated alcohol warmth and effervescent carbonation.
Appearance.Deep gold to pale amber (7-12 SRM); persistent off-white head with fine lacing; notably cloudy and hazy appearance.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity aromatic profile featuring dominant notes of fresh pine resin and herbal spice from the Douglas buds. Complementary light crackery malt and mild pear or apple esters from the yeast fermentation. Very low hop aroma, allowing the botanical highlights to dominate.
Taste.Initial bready and honey-like malt sweetness gives way to a complex herbal middle. The Douglas buds provide a spicy, forest-floor character and a mild botanical bitterness. Fermentation is clean with light fruitiness. The finish is notably crisp and herbal, with a lingering spicy aftertaste that remains fresh and dry.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Moderate to high carbonation provides a lively, tongue-tingling mouthfeel. A light, pleasant alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, with no harsh astringency from the botanical additions.
