The Palm Beer is a vibrant American IPA designed for seasonal refreshment, showcasing a sophisticated blend of Equinox and Hérkules hops. The sensory experience is led by Equinox, which imparts distinct notes of zesty lime, tropical papaya, and a subtle herbal complexity, while Hérkules ensures a clean, structured bitterness. A premium grist featuring Maris Otter provides a rich, biscuity backbone, subtly accented by Caramel malt and malted wheat for a soft, rounded texture. Fermented with West Coast Ale yeast, the profile remains exceptionally clean, allowing the bright hop aromatics and sturdy malt foundation to harmonize into a crisp, summer-ready finish.
Appearance.Deep golden to light copper (approx. 7–10 SRM) with brilliant clarity. It supports a thick, persistent white head that leaves significant lacing as it recedes.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent lime, lemon zest, and tropical melon from the Equinox hops. A clean, grainy-sweet malt presence of biscuit and light honey reflects the Maris Otter base, with no significant yeast esters or fermentation byproducts.
Taste.Initial impression is of firm hop bitterness and bright citrus. The flavor profile delivers lime peel and green herbal notes against a supportive, bready malt sweetness. The Maris Otter provides depth, balanced by a touch of Caramel malt. It finishes dry and clean with a lingering, hoppy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture derived from the malted wheat. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a refreshing prickle on the tongue, accompanied by a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
