American Pale Ale 6.3 º

Pipeworks Brewing Company

Side Quest is a vibrant American Pale Ale that showcases a modern, hop-forward profile. The infusion of Galaxy and Cryo Citra hops delivers a high intensity of passionfruit, peach, and bright citrus zest, while classic Cascade adds a supportive layer of floral grapefruit and subtle pine. A clean, neutral malt base provides a light bready foundation without distracting from the lupulin impact. The fermentation is exceptionally clean, allowing the complex interplay of tropical and resinous notes to shine. It finishes crisp and refreshingly bitter, making it a quintessential example of the style's evolution toward brighter, more fruit-centric aromatics.

Appearance. Pale golden to deep gold (6-8 SRM) with a brilliant clarity. Renders a moderately large, persistent white head with fine-textured lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring tropical passionfruit, citrus zest, and peach, complemented by floral and light pine notes. Low neutral grainy-bready malt character provides a clean background, with no diacetyl and minimal fruity esters.

Taste. Initial burst of tropical fruit and citrus flavors followed by a moderate to high bitterness. The malt flavor is low and neutral-grainy, supporting rather than competing with the hop character. Finishes dry and clean with a lingering but smooth citrus and resinous aftertaste. Fermentation is clean with a well-attenuated profile.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with moderate-high carbonation. Smooth and refreshing with very low, well-integrated alcohol warmth and no harsh astringency.
