American Pale Ale 5.4 º 35 IBU

D’Equí

D’Equí Nirvana is a thoughtfully balanced American Pale Ale that showcases a classic hop profile against a sturdy foundation of three distinct malts. The sensory experience is defined by the interplay of Cascade and Summit hops, delivering a punchy bouquet of grapefruit citrus, pungent resin, and fresh pine needles. Its amber body supports these hop traits with a clean, toasty, and slightly bready malt character that ensures high drinkability. The bitterness is assertive yet balanced, leading to a crisp and refreshing finish. This ale exemplifies the traditional Pacific Northwest style, prioritizing hop clarity and a smooth, harmonious malt-to-hop integration.

Appearance. Deep gold to amber (8–10 SRM). Displays brilliant clarity and a moderately large, off-white head with good retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderately high hop aroma featuring prominent grapefruit and floral notes from Cascade, joined by the spicy, resinous, and dank pine character of Summit. A moderate toasted malt scent provides a supportive base, with very low fruity esters and a clean fermentation profile.

Taste. The palate opens with bright citrus zest and resinous pine hop flavors. A supportive malt backbone follows, contributing flavors of toasted bread and light caramel without being heavy. The bitterness is moderate and clean, balancing the malt sweetness perfectly. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering but smooth citrus and pine aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with moderate to high carbonation. The texture is smooth and crisp, lacking any harsh astringency or noticeable alcohol warmth.
