PLAY BREW CO̠ Tail Side
English Pale Ale 5.5 º
Tail Side presents a modern, citrus-forward interpretation of the classic Ordinary Bitter, emphasizing exceptional drinkability with an enhanced aromatic profile. The base provides a sturdy foundation of biscuity and lightly toasted malt, supporting a vibrant hop character. While the style traditionally leans toward earthy or floral notes, this expression is amplified by the addition of fresh orange, lending a bright, zesty top note that integrates seamlessly with the yeast-derived fruitiness. The palate is defined by a firm, refreshing bitterness that balances subtle caramel undertones. Despite its slightly elevated strength, it remains remarkably quaffable, finishing crisp with a lingering citrus zest.
Appearance. Pale amber to light copper (8–14 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a low to moderate off-white head that shows fair retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a complex malt profile of toasted bread, biscuit, and light caramel. The hop character is pronounced and fruity, specifically highlighting fresh orange zest and citrus peel, backed by moderate fruity esters and a faint earthy undertone.
Taste. Initial impression of firm bitterness followed by bready and biscuity malt flavors. The hop flavor is moderate to high for the style, dominated by fresh orange and citrus notes. Bitterness is medium-high but well-integrated, leading to a decidedly dry, clean finish with a lingering citrus and toasty aftertaste. No diacetyl present.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate carbonation. Though stronger than typical session examples, it exhibits only a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth and no astringency.
