American Pale Ale 5 º 25 IBU

South County Brewing Co.

This American Pale Ale presents a modern, tropical profile characterized by a remarkably soft and lush texture. Aromas of ripe mango, cantaloupe, and papaya lead the sensory experience, supported by a clean, neutral malt base. On the palate, the vibrant melon and stone fruit flavors are accented by a unique, subtle green pepper tang that adds a crisp, savory dimension to the finish. Despite its approachable 5% ABV, it maintains a sensory presence similar to larger tropical ales, balancing moderate bitterness with a refreshing, dry finish. It serves as a highly drinkable, fruit-forward example of the style.

Appearance. Pale golden to light amber (approx. 6 SRM). Features a moderately large, creamy white head with excellent retention and fine lacing. Generally clear with a slight, modern radiance.

Aroma. Moderately high intensity. Dominant notes of tropical fruit including mango and papaya are followed by sweeter scents of melon and cantaloupe. Low neutral grainy maltiness supports the hop presentation with a clean fermentation profile and no prominent esters.

Taste. Initial impression is bright and fruit-forward with flavors of cantaloupe and mango predominating. Transitions into a moderate hop bitterness that is firm but clean. A light, spicy green pepper note provides a distinctive counterpoint to the tropical fruit sweetness. Finishes medium-dry and clean, with a lingering note of soft melon.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a noticeably soft, lush mouthfeel. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle, smooth finish without any harshness or alcohol warmth.
