American Pale Ale 5 º

South County Brewing Co.

Intervals - Alora is a vibrant American Pale Ale that showcases the unique Alora hop variety through a modern sensory lens. Pouring a clear golden hue, it immediately releases a high-intensity bouquet of ripe peach and apricot, followed by refreshing layers of sweet melon and the exotic, zesty brightness of yuzu fruit. A light, crackery base of neutral pale malts provides a clean canvas, ensuring the intricate hop oils remain the focal point. The palate is balanced and approachable, delivering moderate bitterness that supports the lush stone fruit flavors before transitioning into a dry, crisp finish that invites another sip.

Appearance. SRM 5-7. Pale golden to light amber with brilliant clarity. Features a moderately large, white, frothy head with good retention and delicate lacing.

Aroma. High-intensity hop aroma dominated by stone fruits including peach and apricot, complemented by sweet melon and a distinct citrus yuzu note. Low neutral grainy maltiness supports the hops. Clean fermentation profile without significant esters.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward, highlighting peach, sweet melon, and yuzu. Malt flavor is low and bready, providing a supportive but unobtrusive backbone. Moderate bitterness (approx. 40 IBU) balances the fruit-forward hop character. Finish is medium-dry and clean with a lingering citrus and stone fruit aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation. Overall smooth texture without any perceived astringency or harshness from the hops. Low alcohol presence.
