Bushfire is a refreshing American Pale Ale that highlights a vibrant hop profile featuring Citra and Centennial. The aroma is led by zesty grapefruit and bright citrus from the Citra, complemented by Centennial's signature floral and piney notes. Visually, it is pale gold and brilliantly clear with a resilient white head. The palate follows the nose, delivering clean flavors of lemon peel and tropical fruit against a light, bready malt background. A moderate bitterness ensures a crisp, dry finish, emphasizing drinkability. This sessionable ale balances classic resinous hop character with modern fruit-forward intensity for a truly chuggable experience.
