American Pale Ale 5 º

Elusive Brewing
Bearwood Brewing

Enclave is a vibrant American Pale Ale that leans into modern, expressive hop profiles through a collaboration between Elusive and Bearwood. The sensory experience is dominated by a lush, juicy bouquet where Citra provides bright citrus foundations, while Nectaron introduces ripe peach and apricot notes. Nelson Sauvin adds a sophisticated layer of fresh gooseberry and white wine character. Despite its hazy, fruit-forward presentation, a faint resinous undertone keeps the profile grounded. A clean malt backbone supports the hop intensity without interference, resulting in a refreshing, highly drinkable ale that celebrates contemporary stone fruit and tropical aromatics.

Appearance. Pale golden (approx. 6 SRM). Pours with a persistent, moderately large white head with good lacing. Distinctive haze and opacity consistent with modern juicy interpretations.

Aroma. High hop intensity featuring prominent stone fruit (peach, apricot) and tropical notes. Notable gooseberry and white grape character. Low, neutral grainy maltiness provides a supportive background. Clean fermentation profile with very low yeast esters.

Taste. Initial impression of intense tropical and stone fruit, specifically apricot and peach. Hop bitterness is moderate, balancing the fruit-forward profile. Malt flavor is low and neutral, akin to crackers or white bread. Finishes medium-dry and clean, with a lingering, slightly resinous and fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a soft, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. Smooth finish without any astringency or alcohol warmth.
