Propolis Pale Ale offers a refined twist on the classic Belgian Pale Ale, integrating a soft wheat texture with the bright influence of dry hopping. This copper-hued ale opens with a bouquet of pear and orange zest, underpinned by bready malt and a subtle, floral dry-hop lift. On the palate, a gentle honey-like sweetness from the malt is met by spicy, herbal hop notes and a clean, peppery yeast character. The inclusion of wheat enhances the mouthfeel, providing a smooth, creamy transition toward a balanced, crisp finish. It is a harmonious marriage of traditional Belgian fruitiness and modern hop-forward refreshment.
Appearance.Deep amber to copper (12 SRM) with very good clarity and a creamy, rocky white head that exhibits strong retention and lacing.
Aroma.Moderate intensity with a bready, toasty malt core featuring hints of honey. Fruit-forward esters of pear and orange are complemented by a fresh floral and herbal hop aroma from the dry-hop addition. Very low peppery yeast phenols are present.
Taste.Initial soft, biscuity malt flavor with light nutty and honey notes. Moderate fruitiness reminiscent of orange and apple follows. Hop bitterness is medium-low but firm, supporting a dry, balanced finish where spicy and herbal hop flavors become more pronounced alongside the wheat-driven graininess.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with an added silkiness and creaminess from the wheat. Carbonation is medium-high, creating a lively palate. Alcohol warmth is low and well-integrated.
