American Pale Ale 6.1 º 33.7 IBU

Craftsman

This American Pale Ale presents a vibrant sensory profile defined by its deep golden hue and a complex interplay between four distinct malts and two hop varieties. The aroma is dominated by refreshing bursts of fresh orange, citrus, and lush tropical fruits, transitioning into an intense flavor profile where the hop character shines against a medium-bodied malt backbone. It balances a clean bitterness with a refreshing quality that makes it highly drinkable. The finish is crisp and clean, showcasing the interplay of bright citrus notes and a supportive, bready malt presence that lingers pleasantly without harshness.

Appearance. Intense deep gold color (approximately 8 SRM). Features a moderately large, off-white head with good retention and lacing. The clarity is generally brilliant.

Aroma. Moderate to high hop intensity featuring prominent citrus zest and fresh orange, accompanied by notes of tropical fruit. A low to moderate supportive maltiness suggests light bread and subtle toast from the multi-malt blend. The fermentation profile is clean with very low fruity esters.

Taste. The initial impression is hop-forward, emphasizing vibrant orange and tropical fruit flavors. Moderate bitterness provides a firm structure but remains balanced by a layered malt sweetness. Low toasted bread flavors provide depth from the specialty malts. The finish is medium-dry and clean, with hop oils and bitterness lingering gently on the palate.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Moderate to high carbonation provides a refreshing, prickly sensation. There is a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth. Overall smooth without astringency.
