This American Pale Ale presents a vibrant, refreshing profile designed for high drinkability. Brewed as a crispy summer pale, it showcases a bright bouquet of New Zealand hop varieties. The Wai-iti hops contribute distinct notes of fresh lime and stone fruit, while the Raiki hops provide a tropical, sunshine-drenched layer of apricot and soft resin. A clean, neutral malt base allows these New World hops to shine, resulting in a lean, zesty character that leads to a crisp, refreshing finish. It perfectly balances a gentle, grainy malt backbone with the exuberant, fruit-forward aromatics characteristic of its Southern Hemisphere ingredients.
Appearance.Pale golden (5 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a moderately large white head displaying good retention and fine lacing.
Aroma.Moderate to moderately-high hop intensity featuring lime zest, peach, and tropical apricot from Wai-iti and Raiki hops. Low grainy-sweet maltiness provides a neutral background. Clean fermentation profile with very low fruity esters.
Taste.Initial impression of bright citrus and stone fruit. Hop flavors of lime and tropical fruit dominate over a lean, bready malt foundation. Bitterness is moderate but firm, supporting a clean, dry finish. Aftertaste is crisp with lingering notes of lemon peel and soft pine.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a crispy texture. High carbonation provides a lively, refreshing prickle on the tongue. Smooth finish with no alcohol warmth or astringency.
