American Pale Ale 4.1 º

Outer Range Brewing Co.

This refreshing American Pale Ale presents a crisp, session-able profile tailored for peak drinkability. Highlighting a bright hop blend of Cashmere, Talus, and Columbus, the sensory experience is led by vivid notes of fresh lemon zest and delicate floral blossoms. The moderate hop intensity is supported by a lean, neutral malt backbone that emphasizes a light, clean character. Columbus provides a subtle herbal depth, while the Talus and Cashmere contribute hints of dried roses and citrus rind. With its low alcohol presence and dry finish, this beer balances classic American hop bitterness with a modern, airy lift.

Appearance. Pale gold to light amber (SRM 5-7). Brilliant clarity with a moderately large, frothy white head that exhibits good retention and fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high hop aroma featuring distinct lemon zest, lime leaf, and a bouquet of wildflowers. A subtle, spicy, and earthy resin note from the Columbus hops persists. Malt is low and neutral, reminiscent of fresh grain or white crackers, allowing the hop-derived floral esters to remain dominant.

Taste. The initial impression is bright and citrus-forward with lemon and pink grapefruit flavors. Talus hops introduce a unique floral and sage-like complexity, while Cashmere adds a soft fruitiness. Bitterness is moderate and clean, balancing the light, grainy malt sweetness. The finish is crisp and dry, leaving a lingering, pleasant citrus rind aftertaste without harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a refreshing, crisp texture. Carbonation is moderately high, enhancing the beer’s lively character. No alcohol warmth is perceived given the session-strength ABV, and there is no detectable astringency.
