North Brewing Sputnik
Sputnik is a vibrant American Pale Ale that masterfully balances a modern hazy-but-crisp aesthetic with classic hop intensity. On the nose, a bright, fruity candy aroma dominates, offering suggestions of tropical sweets and berries. The palate transition is marked by a light, refreshing body that belies its 5.9% ABV, delivering an assertive piney bitterness that cuts through the subtle, clean malt base. This contrast creates a remarkably drinkable profile where resinous hop notes and a snappy, dry finish provide high-impact refreshment. It successfully bridges the gap between the soft textures of contemporary hazy ales and the firm, bitter structure of West Coast tradition.
Appearance. Pale straw to light golden (5-7 SRM). Features a persistent, frothy white head with moderate lacing. Despite being described as hazy, it maintains a translucent, glowing quality rather than opaque turbidity.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent fruity candy notes, tropical fruit, and a supporting layer of resinous pine. Low neutral, crackery maltiness. Clean fermentation profile with very low fruity esters and no diacetyl.
Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward and bright. Assertive piney hop flavor and a firm bitterness (approx. 40-45 IBU) are balanced by a light, neutral grainy malt backbone. Clean fermentation character. Finish is crisp, dry, and refreshing with a lingering resinous aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation. Light, well-integrated alcohol warmth. Smooth, crisp mouthfeel without any hop astringency or harshness.
