In Bloom presents a vibrant, floral reimagining of an American Pale Ale, uniquely crafted at 0% alcohol. The sensory profile is defined by a bright botanical bouquet of hibiscus, erika, and rotklee, which provide a delicate layering of tart cranberry-like notes and honeyed, herbal florals. These elements dance atop a lean, grainy malt base characteristic of the style. The absence of alcohol ensures a crisp, refreshing experience, where the clean hop bitterness remains moderate but distinctive. It is a refreshing, botanical-forward non-alcoholic ale that captures the essence of a spring meadow while maintaining the hop-driven structure and citrusy highlights of a classic American Pale Ale.
Appearance.Pale amber with a distinct pinkish-copper hue from the hibiscus. It displays a moderately large, off-white to faint pink-tinged head with good retention and a generally clear body.
Aroma.Moderate to moderately-high intensity featuring floral hops and strong botanical notes of hibiscus and earthy heather. A low, neutral grainy maltiness supports aromas of red berries, clover honey, and a hint of citrus zest.
Taste.The initial impression is floral and slightly tart from the hibiscus, followed by a light, bready malt sweetness. Hop flavors of citrus and resin are present but share the stage with herbal erika and sweet rotklee. Bitterness is moderate and clean, leading to a medium-dry finish with a lingering floral aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Light to medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation. The mouthfeel is smooth and crisp with no alcohol warmth and very low astringency from the botanical adjuncts.
