American Pale Ale 5.5 º

Modist Brewing Co.

False Pattern is a contemporary interpretation of an American Pale Ale that leans into New England-style characteristics. The addition of oats creates a soft, hazy foundation that supports a vibrant hop profile featuring Mosaic and Simcoe varieties. High-intensity aromatics of blueberries, mango, and resinous pine lead into a palate defined by juicy tropical fruit and bright citrus zest. While the oats provide a creamy, rounded texture, the beer maintains a refreshing drinkability with a restrained, moderate bitterness. This balance of fruity complexity and a smooth finish highlights the modern interplay between stone fruit notes and classic Pacific Northwest evergreen qualities.

Appearance. Pale golden to light amber (5-7 SRM); large, persistent white head with dense lacing; noticeably hazy to opaque due to the inclusion of oats.

Aroma. Moderately-high intensity featuring prominent tropical fruit, blueberry, and mango from Mosaic hops, complemented by the piney and grapefruit-like edges of Simcoe. Low grainy-sweet malt presence with a subtle, creamy oat-like character.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with flavors of passion fruit, berry, and citrus pith. Moderate bitterness provides structure without being harsh. The malt flavor is neutral and bready, serving as a clean canvas for the hops. Finish is balanced and relatively clean with a lingering hint of resin and tropical fruit skin.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a characteristic creaminess and smoothness from the oats. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle prickle on the tongue. Minimal alcohol warmth; no astringency.
