American Pale Ale 5 º

Deer Bear

This American Pale Ale offers a unique botanical profile, merging the vibrant characteristics of Mosaic hops with the delicate, earthy essence of Japanese matcha tea. The Mosaic hops drive a sensory experience filled with notes of tropical fruit and subtle blueberry, while the matcha provides a distinct grassy, tea-like depth and a touch of herbal complexity. A clean, neutral malt backbone ensures these flavors remain front and center, maintaining excellent drinkability. The result is a refreshing, light-bodied ale where the modern hop character is elegantly transformed by the savory, tea-inflected finish, creating a sophisticated twist on a classic style.

Appearance. Pale golden to light amber (approx. 6-7 SRM). Displays a slight haze from the matcha infusion, topped by a moderately large white head with good retention and fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to moderately-high intensity featuring tropical fruit and berry notes from Mosaic hops. A distinct herbal and grassy matcha aroma is present, supported by a low, neutral grainy maltiness and a clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial flavors of mango and citrus transition into a unique, earthy green tea character. Malt flavors are low and bready, providing a platform for the moderate hop bitterness. The balance favors the hops and botanical tea notes, leading to a crisp, dry finish with a lingering herbal aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a refreshing crispness. No alcohol warmth is detected, and there is only a very faint, pleasant tea-derived astringency.
