Strangers Brewing Co

Clean Slate offers a vibrant, hop-forward experience that defies its ultra-low alcohol content. This American Pale Ale presents a refreshing sensory landscape defined by bright citrus and resinous pine notes typical of classic American hop varieties. A lean but supportive malt backbone provides subtle hints of toasted bread and pale grain, ensuring the hop bitterness remains crisp rather than abrasive. Developed in collaboration with Jump Ship Brewing, the profile emphasizes a clean fermentation and a dry, snap-bright finish. It captures the quintessential drinkability of a pale ale, delivering a punchy aromatic bouquet and a balanced palate without the weight of alcohol.

Appearance. Pale golden with brilliant clarity. Pours with a moderately large, white, frothy head that exhibits fair retention and leaves light lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate intensity hop aroma featuring notes of grapefruit zest, resinous pine, and a hint of tropical mango. A low, clean, grainy-sweet malt scent provides a subtle foundation, reminiscent of fresh crackers. Fermentation is clean with negligible fruity esters.

Taste. Leading with a crisp hop punch of lemon peel and pine resin. The malt profile is supportive and lean, offering flavors of white bread and pale cereal. Bitterness is moderate but firm, providing enough structure to balance the light malt. The finish is remarkably clean and dry, with a lingering citrus rind and floral hop character that fades gracefully.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a crisp, refreshing mouthfeel. Carbonation is moderately high, providing a prickly, lively sensation. There is no perceived alcohol warmth, and the finish is smooth without any harshness or astringency.
