American Pale Ale 5.8 º 32 IBU

Bierbrouwerij De Eem

Zonnig, meaning "Sunny," captures the essence of this American Pale Ale, presenting a bright and refreshing sensory profile. The aroma leads with moderate to high intensities of citrus zest and floral highlights, characteristic of classic American hop varieties. These bright notes are grounded by a supportive yet unobtrusive grainy malt backbone, offering hints of fresh bread and light toast. On the palate, a firm but approachable bitterness balances a clean malt sweetness, leading to a crisp, medium-dry finish. With its vibrant hop-forward character and moderate strength, this beer delivers a highly drinkable and balanced experience that perfectly mirrors its name's cheerful, refreshing intent.

Appearance. Pale golden to light amber in color, typically ranging from 6 to 9 SRM. It features a moderately large, white head with good retention and fine lacing, and exhibits clear to brilliant clarity.

Aroma. Moderate to high hop intensity featuring notes of grapefruit, citrus peel, and light floral tones. The malt character is low and grainy-sweet, providing a neutral background. Fermentation is very clean with negligible yeast esters.

Taste. A hop-forward initial impression characterized by citrus and resinous flavors. Bitterness is moderate to high, in the 30 to 50 IBU range, but remains balanced by a supportive, bready, and lightly toasted malt profile. It features a clean fermentation character and a medium to dry finish where hop flavors linger pleasantly.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with a smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a crispness that enhances drinkability. No harshness or astringency is present, with only a very subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
