Tempest Brewing Co

Designed as a modern, hop-forward take on a classic Belgian Single, this table beer defies its low strength with a vibrant and expressive profile. Double dry-hopped with Citra and Idaho 7, it unleashes a wave of tropical fruit punch, juicy pineapple, ripe nectarine, and bright citrus. The expressive modern hops entwine with the subtle, peppery phenols of a traditional Belgian yeast strain. Despite its sessionable profile, it delivers a surprisingly thick and velvety mouthfeel that supports the intense fruit character, culminating in a crisp, dry finish that balances yeast esters with a firm, clean bitterness.

Appearance. Pale yellow to light gold in color. Crowned by a moderate-sized, persistent, billowy white head that leaves attractive lacing. Exhibits a slight haze, consistent with its heavy dry-hopping, yet remains bright.

Aroma. High intensity aroma blending vibrant hop notes with expressive yeast. Dominant tropical and citrus aromas of fresh pineapple, sweet nectarine, and orange peel from the hops are integrated with a moderate spicy, peppery phenol and pear-like ester character from the Belgian yeast. A low, supporting cracker-like and grainy malt backdrop grounds the fruitiness.

Taste. Crisp and highly flavorful, starting with a light, grainy, bready malt foundation. This is immediately overtaken by big, juicy hop flavors of citrus, pineapple, and nectarine. The yeast adds a moderate layer of peppery spice and orchard fruit esters. The balance is firmly hop- and yeast-forward, driving toward a very dry, crisp finish with a lingering, clean, hoppy bitterness and a hint of spicy phenols.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body that punches above its weight with a surprisingly thick, velvety, and smooth mouthfeel. Highly carbonated and lively on the palate, yet entirely free of any harshness, astringency, or alcohol warmth.
