American Pale Ale 4.2 º

Sofia Electric Brewing

This American Pale Ale offers a vibrant sensory journey lead by a double dry-hopped explosion of Citra and Sabro hops. The aroma is defined by bright bursts of citrus zest and fresh pine, with Sabro contributing a unique tropical complexity. A foundational blend of wheat, oat, and barley malt creates a saturated, pale yellow appearance while providing a soft, supportive graininess. Despite its sessionable strength, the beer maintains a satisfying medium body that enhances its crushable nature. Each sip balances firm hop bitterness with a clean, smooth finish, highlighting the modern, hop-forward character and refreshing drinkability intended by Sofia Electric Brewing.

Appearance. Saturated yellow color (approximately 4-6 SRM). Displays a slight to moderate haze from the inclusion of wheat, oats, and yeast. Topped with a moderately large, creamy white head with good retention and lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Dominant citrus notes of grapefruit and lime from Citra hops are complemented by the distinctive pine, cedar, and subtle coconut-like tropicality of Sabro. Low grainy-sweet malt character with hints of bready wheat and raw oats. Fermentation is clean with very low fruity esters.

Taste. Initial impression is bright and hop-forward. Flavors of orange peel, pine resin, and tropical fruit lead the palate, supported by a soft, bready malt backbone of barley and wheat. Moderate bitterness provides structure without becoming harsh. The finish is medium-dry and clean, leaving a lingering hop trail of citrus and pine in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a soft, slightly creamy texture attributed to the oat and wheat additions. Moderate carbonation. Very smooth with no detectable alcohol warmth or astringency.
