Galotia Brewing

Swing presents a vibrant West Coast character, bridging the gap between a traditional American Pale Ale and a modern IPA. A pronounced hop profile leads with bright citrus and resinous pine, hallmarks of New World varieties, supported by a clean, neutral malt base of pale grains and a touch of toasted biscuit. The presence of the beer provides a substantial but well-integrated character, enhancing the hop aromatics without overwhelming the drinkability. With its crisp, dry finish and firm bitterness, this beer offers a refreshed take on the style, emphasizing hop-forward complexity and a snappy, refreshing mouthfeel that lingers with resinous notes.

Appearance. Pale golden to deep amber (6-9 SRM) with a moderately large, off-white head showing good retention and light lacing. The clarity is generally quite clear and brilliant.

Aroma. High hop aroma intensity featuring notes of grapefruit, orange peel, and resinous pine. A low to moderate neutral maltiness provides a grainy, slightly bready foundation. Fermentation is clean with very low fruity esters and no diacetyl.

Taste. The initial impression is hop-forward, dominated by citrus and pine flavors. Malt character is supportive but restrained, showing low notes of bread and toast. Bitterness is firm and high, balancing the dry finish. The aftertaste is clean, featuring a lingering hop presence without any harshness or astringency.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with moderate to high carbonation that provides a crisp, refreshing sting. There is a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth consistent with its strength. The finish is smooth and devoid of any puckering astringency.
