Dougall’s Spring Is Coming
American Pale Ale 4.5 º
This vibrant American Pale Ale captures the essence of the season with a bright, hop-forward profile designed for refreshment. A strategic trio of El Dorado, Ekuanot, and Simcoe hops provides a complex bouquet of tropical fruit, zesty citrus, and a hint of earthy pine. The beer pours a clear, pale gold with a resilient white head. On the palate, the fruit-driven hop intensity—reminiscent of pineapple and lemon—is balanced by a lean, bready malt backbone that ensures high drinkability. At a sessionable 4.5% ABV, it finishes clean and dry with a moderate bitterness that invites another sip, showcasing a modern, refreshing interpretation of the style.
Appearance. Pale golden (approx. 6 SRM) with a moderately large, off-white head that demonstrates good retention and light lacing. Generally quite clear.
Aroma. Moderate to moderately-high hop aroma characterized by tropical fruit (pineapple, mango), citrus peel, and a subtle resinous pine. A low, neutral grainy maltiness supports the hops, while fermentation esters remain clean and restrained.
Taste. Initial impression is crisp and hop-forward. Flavors of stone fruit, lime, and pine from the Simcoe and El Dorado hops dominate, supported by a low, crackery malt character. Bitterness is moderate and firm but well-integrated. The finish is medium-dry and clean, with a lingering notes of citrus and herbal spice in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation. Overall smooth texture with no perceptible alcohol warmth or hop-derived astringency.
