American Pale Ale 4 º

DOT Brew

This sessionable American Pale Ale offers a vibrant, hop-forward experience despite its approachable 4% ABV. A double helping of Citra and Galaxy hops drives the sensory profile, bursting with aromatics of sun-ripened passionfruit, bright peach, and zesty lime. A foundation of neutral pale malts provides a lean, bready structure that supports the tropical intensity without adding weight. The palate is crisp and refreshing, balancing a moderate bitterness with a clean, dry finish. It is a modern, easy-drinking expression of the style that prioritizes aromatic punch and high drinkability, delivering a bright, citrus-led profile that remains light on the palate.

Appearance. Pale gold to light amber (5-7 SRM). Features a moderately large, white, frothy head with good retention and delicate lacing. Clarity is generally clear with a brilliant shimmer.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by tropical and citrus notes. Distinct passionfruit, peach, and mango from the Galaxy hops mingle with Citra-driven grapefruit and lime zest. Low, clean, grainy malt sweetness supports the hops; fermentation is neutral with no notable esters.

Taste. Initial impression is refreshingly hop-centric. Intense flavors of tropical fruit and citrus pith lead, followed by a light, bready malt backbone. Bitterness is moderate and firm, balancing the fruity hop character without becoming harsh. The finish is clean and dry with a lingering note of citrus resin.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that enhances the crispness. Alcohol warmth is none. Smooth finish with no perceived astringency or harshness.
