La Source Beer Co. Rainette - Citra / Comet (BE)
American Pale Ale 5.1 º
This refreshing American Pale Ale showcases a vibrant transatlantic hop profile featuring Citra and Comet. The aroma is dominated by high-intensity notes of grapefruit, lime, and tropical mango from the Citra, complemented by the unique herbal, grassy, and zesty grapefruit character of the Belgian-grown Comet. A clean, neutral malt base provides a light breadiness that supports the hop-forward delivery without distraction. It pours a brilliant gold with a persistent white head. The palate follows the nose, offering a crisp, moderate bitterness and a dry, clean finish, making it exceptionally drinkable and intensely aromatic.
Appearance. Pale golden (approx. 6 SRM) with a moderately large, frothy white head. Features high clarity and good head retention with light lacing.
Aroma. High-intensity hop aroma featuring grapefruit, mango, and lime from the Citra, paired with the wild, herbal, and pungent citrus zest of Comet. Low, neutral grainy maltiness supports the hops. Clean fermentation profile with virtually no esters.
Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with flavors of grapefruit, tropical fruit, and a distinct herbal resin. Moderate bitterness (approx. 40 IBU) is firm but not harsh.
