American Pale Ale 5.8 º 30 IBU

Hop Federation

This American Pale Ale offers a refined and mellow drinking experience, emphasizing a vibrant hop profile over a sturdy malt foundation. At 5.8% ABV, it presents a bright bouquet of citrus and tropical fruit, characteristic of the generous addition of American hops. The sensory journey begins with notes of grapefruit zest and passion fruit, supported by a clean, neutral graininess. Despite the assertive hopping, the bitterness remains accessible, leading to a crisp and balanced finish. This expression of the style prioritizes refreshment and flavor clarity, making it a quintessentially easy-drinking craft classic that bridges the gap between sessionability and intensity.

Appearance. Pale golden to light amber (approx. 6 SRM); brilliant clarity; moderately large white head with good retention and delicate lacing.

Aroma. Moderately high hop aroma featuring distinct notes of grapefruit, orange zest, and tropical mango; low neutral grainy-bready malt character; clean fermentation profile with very low, supportive fruity esters.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with citrus and tropical fruit flavors; low, neutral malt sweetness provides a supportive background; moderate hop bitterness provides balance without being harsh; finish is medium-dry and clean with a lingering, soft resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body; moderate to high carbonation; overall smooth finish with a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth and no astringency.
