Faction Brewing Face the Strange
American Pale Ale 5.5 º
Face the Strange is a vibrant American Pale Ale that bridges the gap between classic clarity and modern tropical aromatics. Labeled a 'non-hazy hazy,' it showcases an explosive hop profile featuring Simcoe, Mosaic, Citra, and Vic Secret. The aroma leads with intense pineapple and passionfruit from the Vic Secret, layered with the distinct blueberry and tropical notes of Mosaic. Citra contributes a bright, zesty grapefruit punch, while Simcoe provides a grounding, resinous pine finish. A clean, neutral malt backbone supports this intense fruit character, leading to a crisp, dry finish that emphasizes refreshing drinkability over heavy sweetness.
Appearance. Pale gold (6 SRM) with brilliant clarity and a moderately large, white, persistent head that leaves fine lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring notes of ripe pineapple, passionfruit, and bright grapefruit. A secondary forest-pine and blueberry character is present. Malt is low and neutral, providing a faint grainy-sweet background.
Taste. Strong hop flavors of citrus zest and tropical fruit mirror the aroma. Moderate bitterness is well-integrated and provides a clean, punchy balance. The malt profile is restrained with light bready notes and no caramel. It finishes dry and crisp with a lingering citrus and pine aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation. Overall smooth and refreshing without any astringency or noticeable alcohol warmth.
