Fonta Flora Brewery Don't Be Afraid
Pale Ale 5.6 º
This American Pale Ale presents a bold sensory fusion, pairing a classic West Coast structure with an intricate pepper profile. The nose is dominated by the tropical and citrus vibrance of Citra, Mosaic, and El Dorado hops, which mesh seamlessly with the floral, apricot-like aroma of estate-grown Habanada peppers. On the palate, the hop-derived notes of grapefruit and mango encounter the earthy depth of Carolina Reaper peppers. While the heat is present, it is tempered by a lean, crackery malt backbone, finishing dry with a lingering, resinous bitterness and a creeping, spicy warmth that defines its unique and adventurous character.
Appearance. Deep gold to light amber (7 SRM); brilliant clarity with a moderately large, persistent white head and significant lacing.
Aroma. Moderately high intensity featuring tropical mango, pineapple, and citrus zest from Citra and El Dorado, alongside earthy pine and blueberry notes from Mosaic. A distinct floral, sweet pepper scent from the Habanada is present, with a very subtle, sharp vegetal hint from the Carolina Reaper. Malt is low and neutral.
Taste. Initial impression of bright citrus and tropical fruit followed quickly by the fruity, floral flavor of the Habanada peppers. Medium-high hop bitterness is supported by a clean, bready malt character. The finish is dry and crisp, where the Carolina Reaper provides a building, spicy heat that lingers alongside resinous hop notes.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, clean texture. High carbonation provides a crisp bite. Notable physical warmth is present from the capsaicin, though the alcohol sensation remains light and well-integrated.
