Prima Materia is a modern American Pale Ale showcasing a soft, expressive hop character. The multi-oat and wheat grist creates a velvety, opaque canvas that carries an aggressive dry-hopping of a proprietary blend of hops. High-intensity aromas of ripe tropical mango, melon, and soft stone fruit emerge, supported by a subtle, bready graininess. On the palate, the hop-forward profile delivers a juicy fruit impression with a moderate, integrated bitterness that avoids harshness. The addition of wheat and oats provides a lush, creamy texture, culminating in a clean, off-dry finish that emphasizes drinkability and aromatic complexity over traditional malt sweetness.
Appearance.Straw to pale gold (4-6 SRM). It features a dense, long-lasting white head with excellent lacing. While the style baseline is clear, this specific multi-oat and wheat version presents a significant, uniform haze.
Aroma.High hop intensity featuring a lush bouquet of tropical fruit, passion fruit, and citrus zest. A soft, grainy-sweet malt aroma from the wheat and oats provides a supportive base, alongside faint, clean fruity esters.
Taste.Dominant hop flavors of melon and bright citrus lead into a moderate bitterness. The malt profile is light but substantial, tasting of fresh bread and raw grain. Fermentation is clean, allowing the late-addition hop character to linger through a medium-dry, refreshing finish that is never harsh.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a noticeably smooth, creamy texture derived from the high oat and wheat content. Carbonation is moderate, providing a soft effervescence without any perceptible alcohol warmth or astringency.
