English Pale Ale 3.7 º

Half Moon Brewery

This light-bodied Ordinary Bitter captures the essence of a refreshing session ale with its exceptionally crisp character. The base features delicate notes of bready and biscuity malts, providing a subtle toasted foundation for the hop profile to shine. Distinctive herby and floral notes intertwine with a bright citrus punch, offering a vibrant sensory experience that remains remarkably easy-drinking. The balance leans toward a refined, moderate bitterness that avoids aggression, leading into a clean and bone-dry finish. It is a quintessential summer ale where the low alcohol content and nuanced hop character ensure a thirst-quenching and highly repeatable pint.

Appearance. Pale amber to light copper (SRM 9) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a low, creamy off-white head that shows moderate retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a bready and biscuity malt character; faint notes of caramel are present. The hop aroma is pronounced for the style, featuring herby, floral, and citrus zest notes over low fruity fermentation esters.

Taste. Initial bready malt sweetness quickly gives way to a moderate hop bitterness. Flavors of dried herbs, field flowers, and lemon peel are prominent. The malt profile remains biscuity and toasty through the mid-palate, finishing very dry and clean with a lingering floral aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Light body with moderate carbonation that enhances the crisp, refreshing qualities. No alcohol warmth is perceived, and the finish is smooth without any harsh astringency.
