South Acre is a modern expression of the American Pale Ale, showcasing a vibrant trifecta of New World hops. The aroma is dominated by the distinct white wine and gooseberry notes of Nelson Sauvin, layered with the ripe tropical fruit and berry complexity of Mosaic. Underneath, Citra provides a bright, zesty grapefruit foundation that keeps the profile refreshing. A clean, bready malt backbone provides structural support without overshadowing the hop intensity. On the palate, a moderate bitterness balances the juicy hop flavors, leading to a crisp, dry finish. It is a highly drinkable, hop-forward ale with a nuanced, contemporary character.
Appearance.Pale gold to light amber (approx. 6 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a moderately large, frothy white head that exhibits good retention and leaves light lacing on the glass.
Aroma.Moderately high intensity, featuring a complex blend of crushed white grapes, blueberry, and mango. Pungent grapefruit zest and light pine resin are evident. Low neutral-grainy maltiness sits in the background, supporting a clean fermentation profile with minimal yeast esters.
Taste.Initial impression is hop-forward with flavors of tropical passion fruit, melon, and citrus zest. A moderate bitterness provides a firm but balanced structure against a subtle, bready malt base. The finish is medium-dry and clean, with a lingering note of citrus oil and gooseberry that does not become harsh.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is negligible, contributing to a refreshing and accessible mouthfeel.
