Taller Than A House is a delicate, sessionable American Pale Ale that leans into a modern, hazy interpretation. A grist of barley, wheat, and oats creates a distinctive, creamy canvas for the hops to express themselves. The aroma is defined by soft fruit—reminiscent of stone fruit and tropical melon—balanced by a gentle, bready malt backbone. The addition of oats provides a supple, silky texture that belies its lower alcohol content, leading into a refined finish with just a light, clean bitterness. It is a refreshing, unfiltered ale that prioritizes a lush mouthfeel and bright, contemporary hop character over aggressive intensity.
Appearance.Pale golden (5-6 SRM). Characteristically hazy and unfiltered with a moderately large, fluffy white head that shows good retention and leaves light lacing.
Aroma.Moderate intensity. Dominant soft fruit hop character featuring notes of melon and stone fruit. Low grainy, bready maltiness is enhanced by a subtle, creamy oat scent. Fermentation is clean with very low fruity esters.
Taste.Initial impression of soft tropical fruit and light citrus. The malt profile is neutral but supportive, offering bready notes and a hint of grainy sweetness from the oats and wheat. Bitterness is low to moderate, notably softer than classic examples. The finish is clean and slightly dry, with a gentle, non-lingering fruity aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a noticeably soft, silky texture due to the addition of oats. Carbonation is moderate. No perceived alcohol warmth. Smooth and easy-drinking with no astringency.
