Cellar Head Brewing Company’s 'Merica! is a punchy and vibrant American Pale Ale that balances a strong malt base with a bold, modern hop profile. The use of Magnum hops provides a clean, firm bitterness that anchors the experience, while Cashmere and Columbus hops introduce a refreshing twist of citrus, herbal spice, and subtle melon notes. At 4.8% ABV, it maintains a sessionable yet flavorful character, leading with a smooth, refreshing mouthfeel. The malt backbone offers a supportive grainy sweetness that perfectly complements the assertive hop impact, resulting in a crisp, clean finish that invites another sip.
Appearance.Deep golden color with brilliant clarity. It supports a moderately large, persistent white head with good retention and light lacing.
Aroma.Moderately high hop intensity featuring notes of lemon zest, spicy resin, and a hint of melon from the Cashmere and Columbus hops. A low to moderate grainy maltiness supports the hops with nuances of fresh bread, while the fermentation profile remains clean with very low esters.
Taste.The flavor leads with citrus peel and pungent herbal resin, backed by a firm bitterness from the Magnum hops. The malt presence is supportive and clean, contributing flavors of cracked grain and light biscuit. It finishes medium-dry with a lingering but clean hop character and no harshness, maintaining a balance that favors the late-addition hops.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that provides a crisp, refreshing sensation. The finish is smooth and clean, lacking any astringency or noticeable alcohol warmth.
