The Castle presents a refined, modern interpretation of an American Pale Ale, characterized by a plush, soft texture derived from a substantial addition of oats and wheat. This grain bill provides a creamy, bread-like foundation for a vibrant showcase of Citra hops. Intensely aromatic, it radiates high-toned notes of grapefruit zest, juicy tangerine, and subtle lychee. On the palate, the hop-forward profile delivers clean citrus flavors and a moderate bitterness that remains smooth and integrated. The finish is crisp yet slightly rounded by the protein-rich malts, offering a balanced and highly drinkable experience with a lingering tropical aftertaste driven by the dry-hopped Citra character.
Appearance.Pale straw to light gold (5-6 SRM). Topped with a large, persistent white head that leaves dense lacing. Displays a slight haze characteristic of high protein wheat and oat additions.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of fresh grapefruit, lime peel, and tropical mango. Supported by a low, grainy, and slightly bready malt character. Fermentation is clean with only very low, background fruity esters.
Taste.Initial impression is hop-dominant with bright flavors of orange pulp and grapefruit pith. The malt profile is supportive and neutral, providing a soft bready quality without caramel sweetness. Bitterness is moderate and firm but well-integrated, leading to a medium-dry finish that is clean and free of harshness. A lingering citrus and resinous hop flavor persists in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a notable silkiness and creaminess from the multi-oat and wheat grist. Carbonation is moderate-high. No detectable alcohol warmth or astringency.
