BRLO Pale Ale is a vibrant American Pale Ale that highlights a lush, tropical hop profile through expert dry hopping. A classic trio of American hops—Cascade, Citra, and Centennial—drives a kaleidoscopic sensory experience of fresh grapefruit, succulent mango, and zesty pineapple. This unfiltered pour maintains a clean yet supportive malt backbone, providing a neutral canvas for intense passionfruit and citrus notes to shine. On the palate, the experience is defined by a firm bitterness and a signature bitter orange tang that lingers into a crisp, refreshing finish. Balanced yet hop-forward, it delivers a sophisticated sensory journey that remains remarkably drinkable.
