Pale Ale 5.6 º

Diamondback Brewing Co.

Baja Jacket is a refreshing American Pale Ale that artfully incorporates a Mexican-inspired malt character. The use of flaked maize creates a lean, exceptionally crisp foundation, allowing a bright hop profile to take center stage. Expect a bouquet dominated by citrus zest and light pine, underscored by a subtle, grainy sweetness reminiscent of corn tortillas. This pale golden ale delivers a firm yet approachable bitterness that snaps on the tongue, followed by a clean, dry finish. It is an expertly balanced, drinkable beer that marries the hop-forward intensity of a classic craft ale with the high-refreshment qualities of a premium lager.

Appearance. Pale golden (6 SRM); brilliant clarity; moderately large white head with good retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate-high hop aroma featuring notes of grapefruit zest, lime, and a hint of resinous pine. Low grainy-sweet maltiness with a distinct corn-like adjunct note. Clean fermentation profile with very low fruity esters.

Taste. Initial hop-forward impression of citrus peel and floral tones. Malt flavor is low but supportive, displaying a neutral, bready character and a slight sweetness from flaked maize. Bitterness is moderate to firm, balanced by the dry finish. Aftertaste is clean with lingering notes of hop resin and toasted grain.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a crisp, refreshing texture. Moderate-high carbonation. Smooth finish with no astringency and no perceived alcohol warmth.
