Salcombe Pale Ale is a sensory homage to the historic fruit trade, presenting a vibrant American Pale Ale profile. The dry-hop addition of Summit and Simcoe varieties creates a powerful aromatic core of zesty orange and pink grapefruit, uniquely accented by a delicate touch of anise. The experience is defined by these bold, fresh citrus notes which ride over a clean, neutral malt foundation. A firm bitterness provides structure, leading to a refreshing, complex finish where the pithy grapefruit character lingers. It balances a robust hop intensity with a smooth, approachable body, delivering a sophisticated and fruit-forward drinking experience.
Appearance.Pale golden to light amber (6-8 SRM). Topped with a moderately large, off-white head featuring good retention and fine lacing. The clarity is brilliant to clear.
Aroma.Moderately high hop intensity featuring distinct notes of fresh orange zest and pink grapefruit. A unique, light spicy anise character is present, supported by a low, neutral grainy-bready malt backbone. Fermentation is clean with very low fruity esters.
Taste.Initial hop-forward impact of citrus pith and tropical fruit. Malt flavors are restrained and bready, providing a supportive platform for the hops without adding sweetness. Hop bitterness is moderate to high, typical of the style, balancing the fruit notes. The finish is medium-dry and clean, with a lingering aftertaste of orange peel and resin.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a refreshing prickle. Alcohol warmth is negligible, and the finish is free of astringency.
