American Pale Ale 5 º 25 IBU

Norm Brewing

This American Pale Ale presents a vibrant sensory journey defined by its modern Double Dry Hopped treatment. The aroma is led by the bright, lime-forward character of Motueka and the delicate citrus-blossom notes of Wakatu. A layer of CRYO Loral adds a sophisticated herbal and floral depth, elevating the hop profile beyond simple fruitiness. On the palate, the experience is notably velvety and pillowy, offering a juicy texture that balances the moderate hop bitterness. The malt stays supportive and neutral, allowing the fresh, zesty citrus and wildflower qualities to shine through to a clean, refreshing finish.

Appearance. Pale gold (approx. 5-6 SRM) with a slight, modern haze. Features a large, frothy white head with excellent persistence and delicate lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by fresh lime zest and lemon peel. Secondary notes of white flowers, crushed herbs, and a faint hint of sweet tropical fruit. Malt is very low, presenting as a clean, crackery background.

Taste. Initial flavors of bright lime and grapefruit lead into a middle of herbal tea and floral honey. The hop bitterness is moderate and well-integrated, never harsh. Malt provides a soft, bready foundation. Finish is dry and clean with lingering citrus oils.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a distinctively soft, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate, contributing to a smooth, pillowy sensation without any alcohol warmth or astringency.
