English Pale Ale 5.5 º 26 IBU

Sailor

This American Pale Ale offers a maritime twist on a classic craft staple. It presents a crisp, hop-forward profile balanced by a lean, grainy malt base. While the brewer draws on traditional English inspiration, the inclusion of seaweed introduces a subtle, savory brine that underscores the firm bitterness. Bright floral and light citrus hop notes greet the senses, transitioning into a clean, dry finish. The seaweed does not overwhelm but adds a peculiar mineral depth, making this 5.5% ale a distinctive and refreshing experience. It is defined by its unique maritime character and a lingering, clean hop presence.

Appearance. Pours a clear, pale golden to light amber color. It is topped by a moderately large, creamy white head with good retention and fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring floral and slightly citrusy hop notes. A low, grainy-sweet malt backbone provides support, while a faint, unique oceanic or briny whisper from the seaweed adds a distinctive mineral layer. Fermentation is clean with very low fruity esters.

Taste. The initial impression is a firm hop bitterness paired with a neutral, bready malt foundation. Hop flavors of dried herbs and soft citrus are present, followed by a peculiar, slightly savory saline quality from the seaweed. The balance leans toward bitterness, leading into a very dry, clean finish with a lingering, crisp aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with moderate to high carbonation. It feels smooth on the palate with a refreshing, slightly crisp mineral texture and no perceived alcohol warmth or astringency.
