Fruit Beer 5.1 º

Lancaster Brewery

Lancaster Brewery Pomelo is a vibrant and refreshing Fruit Beer that centers on the bright, zesty character of its namesake citrus. The sensory profile is dominated by high-intensity aromas of fresh pomelo and grapefruit zest, providing a sharp, uplifting invitation. On the palate, the fruit’s natural oils deliver a crisp citrus punch with a subtle, pithy bitterness that balances the light, crackery malt base. Clean fermentation allows the fruit to remain the focal point, finishing remarkably dry and effervescent. This beer beautifully captures the essence of tropical citrus while maintaining a highly sessionable and crisp profile perfect for warm-weather drinking.

Appearance. Pours a brilliant, pale golden color (approx. 5-7 SRM) with excellent clarity. It is topped by a frothy, white head with moderate persistence and light lacing as it recedes.

Aroma. High aroma intensity featuring primary notes of fresh pomelo and zesty grapefruit peel. The fruit character is clean and natural, supported by a low, grainy-sweet malt presence. Hop aroma is low and secondary, offering a faint floral hint that complements the citrus esters. No significant fermentation byproducts or phenols.

Taste. The initial impression is a bright burst of citrus fruit flavor, specifically pomelo flesh and sharp grapefruit. The fruit adds a refreshing complexity rather than sugary sweetness, as the finish is quite dry. A low, bready malt flavor provides a steady background. Hop bitterness is moderate but feels enhanced by the citrus zest's natural pithiness. The balance is decidedly toward the fruit, leading to a clean, crisp, and slightly tart aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a crisp, refreshing texture. Carbonation is moderate-to-high, providing a lively tingle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is very low and well-integrated. No notable astringency, though a light, refreshing citrus-skin dryness is present.
