English Pale Ale 3.8 º

Darwin Brewery

Darwin Brewery Expedition is a bright, refreshing take on a classic Ordinary Bitter, leaning into the modern golden ale substyle. The inclusion of Cascade and Citra hops provides a vibrant, citrus-forward sensory profile, delivering layers of grapefruit zest and lime over a lean malt base. Expect a foundation of bready and biscuity notes providing just enough support for the assertive bitterness. Its light body and crisp delivery enhance its sessionability, while the clean, dry finish and subtle fruity esters make it an approachable, pint-friendly ale designed for high drinkability and consistent refreshment.

Appearance. Deep golden color (approx. 8 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a low to moderate white head that shows fair retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate aroma intensity featuring distinct citrus notes of grapefruit and lemon peel from the American hops. Underlying this is a low, bready malt character with hints of toasted biscuit and light pear-like fruity esters.

Taste. Initial impression is a balance of bready malt and immediate hop bitterness. The flavor profile is dominated by citrusy Cascade and Citra characteristics, specifically grapefruit and light floral notes. It possesses a medium-high bitterness that leads to a decidedly dry and clean finish with a lingering earthy, citrus aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate carbonation. It presents no alcohol warmth and a smooth, non-astringent texture that emphasizes its sessionable nature.
