American Pale Ale 4.7 º 45 IBU

Lervig Aktiebryggeri

Lervig Lucky Jack Grapefruit Edition is a vibrant riff on a classic American Pale Ale, amplified by the addition of grapefruit peel and pink grapefruit juice. The sensory experience is dominated by an aggressive yet refreshing citrus punch, where the natural acidity of the juice brightens the tropical notes of the American hops. Underlying the sharp citrus is a subtle foundation of cereal and light toasted malt, providing just enough structure to support the zesty fruit profile. Unfiltered and lively, this edition balances the pithy bitterness of grapefruit with a crisp, dry finish, resulting in a highly drinkable and aromatically intense fruit-forward ale.

Appearance. Pours a golden-amber with a distinct pinkish hue. The beer is hazy and unfiltered, topped by a small, off-white head with moderate retention.

Aroma. High intensity of fresh pink grapefruit and citrus zest. Complementary tropical fruit notes from American hops provide a lush backdrop, supported by a low cereal and lightly toasted malt character. Fermentation is clean with a slight lactic-like fruit acidity.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tart grapefruit juice and citrus pith. The malt provides a light bready and toasted grain foundation that balances the fruit. Hop flavors of tropical fruit are present but secondary to the grapefruit. Bitterness is moderate and clean, merging with the pithy fruit character. The finish is dry, crisp, and slightly acidic.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate-high carbonation. There is no perceived alcohol warmth. The presence of fruit juice and peel adds a slight, refreshing tartness and a very light pithy astringency.
