Pale Ale 4.8 º

Pipeworks Brewing Company

This refreshing Fruit Beer presents a vibrant sensory marriage between a classic American Pale Ale and tropical fruit. Bright, freshly cut pineapple aromas lead the charge, supported by a backbone of bready malts and subtle citrus hop notes. On the palate, the pineapple provides a zesty tang that complements the moderate bitterness of the base beer without veering into cloying sweetness. The fermentation of the fruit sugars results in a crisp, clean finish that highlights the sessionable 4.8% ABV. It is a harmonious and approachable ale where the tropical adjunct enhances the refreshing, hop-forward character of the underlying style.

Appearance. Light gold to pale amber with a frothy, white head featuring moderate retention and light lacing. Generally clear, though a very slight, natural fruit-induced haze may be present.

Aroma. High intensity of fresh, tropical pineapple. Behind the fruit, a moderate aroma of bready and lightly toasted malt persists. Low to moderate hop aroma presents as grapefruit or floral notes, with clean fermentation and no significant esters or phenols.

Taste. The initial impression is dominated by tangy pineapple flavor that feels authentic rather than artificial. A moderate hop bitterness balances the fruit's acidity. The malt provides a neutral, cracker-like foundation. As the fruit sugars have mostly fermented out, the finish is notably dry and clean, with a lingering tropical citrus aftertaste that remains balanced and refreshing.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a crisp, refreshing texture. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. There is no perceived alcohol warmth and no significant tannin-driven astringency from the fruit.
