This zesty American Pale Ale is a vibrant showcase of Citra hops, delivering a punchy sensory experience that belies its sessionable strength. The aroma is dominated by the hop’s signature tropical fruit profile, led by mango and lychee, paired with bright grapefruit zest. On the palate, a clean, neutral malt backbone allows the Citra hops to shine, offering layers of lime, passion fruit, and a refreshing pithy bitterness. Despite being gluten-free, it maintains the classic structure of the style with a crisp, dry finish. It is a focused, hop-forward pale ale designed for maximum drinkability and intense aromatic impact.
Appearance.Pours a brilliant pale gold (5 SRM) with a moderately large, frothy white head that exhibits good retention and leaves delicate lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of grapefruit, lime zest, and tropical mango driven by Citra. A low, neutral grainy maltiness provides a clean background, with very low fruity yeast esters.
Taste.Initial impression is hop-forward with flavors of citrus peel and passion fruit. A low, bready malt support keeps the balance toward a moderate bitterness. The fermentation is clean, leading into a dry finish where pithy hop flavors and a crisp bitterness linger pleasantly without harshness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with moderate-high carbonation that provides a refreshing, crisp spritz. Overall smooth mouthfeel with no alcohol warmth or astringency.
