American Pale Ale 5.6 º 40 IBU

Maiken Brewery

This American Pale Ale presents a vibrant sensory profile centered on classic American hop character. A blend of four distinct malts provides a sturdy, amber-hued foundation that supports a prominent hop bitterness. The addition of Cascade hops defines the aromatic experience, imparting bright citrus notes that lead the charge over a subtle, underlying malt complexity. The presence of these grains adds a noticeable depth and orange-tinted color to the pour, while the hops remain the primary focus from the initial sniff to the crisp finish. It strikes a balance between traditional malt-driven body and a bold, citrus-forward hop expression.

Appearance. Amber to deep orange (8–10 SRM). Features a moderately large, creamy, and persistent off-white head with excellent retention and lacing. Generally clear.

Aroma. Moderate to high hop aroma characterized by bright citrus zest and light floral notes from the Cascade hops. Supported by low to moderate malt scents of toasted bread and subtle caramel. Clean fermentation profile with negligible esters.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with a firm bitterness. Prominent flavors of grapefruit and orange peel dominate. The four-malt backbone provides a supportive, toasted grain and light caramel character that remains secondary to the hop profile. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering, clean citrus bitterness that is refreshing and not harsh.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Moderate to high carbonation provides a crisp mouth-coating sensation. Very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
