Cornerstone is a vibrant American Pale Ale that leans into modern hop expression with a deliberate haze. The sensory profile is defined by an punchy interplay of tropical and resinous notes driven by Citra, Riwaka, and Simcoe hops. Expect a bright burst of grapefruit and passionfruit on the nose, anchored by a distinct piney backbone and a faint, diesel-like edge unique to the New Zealand Riwaka. The malt provides a clean, bready foundation that supports the intense hop character without adding sweetness, leading to a crisp, refreshing finish that highlights the versatility of this average-strength, hop-forward craft staple.
Appearance.Straw to pale gold (5-7 SRM). Distinctly hazy with a moderately large, frothy white head that shows good retention and leaves significant lacing on the glass.
Aroma.Moderately high hop aroma featuring a complex blend of grapefruit and lime from the Citra, pungent passionfruit from the Riwaka, and a supporting resinous pine note from the Simcoe. Low bready and neutral grain maltiness; clean fermentation profile with very low fruity esters.
Taste.Initial impression is hop-dominant with flavors of tropical fruit, citrus zest, and forest pine. Moderate bitterness is well-integrated and never harsh. The malt flavor is low, suggesting cracked grain or white bread, providing a platform for the hops. Finish is medium-dry and clean with a lingering hop resin aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a slightly soft, creamy texture from the hazy presentation. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle prickle on the tongue. Smooth finish with no perceived alcohol warmth or astringency.
