This gluten-free American Pale Ale offers a revitalizing sensory profile designed for recovery. A robust hop bill featuring Amarillo, Centennial, and Nelson Sauvin drives the experience, delivering a vibrant bouquet of fresh citrus, floral peach, and distinct white grape. The palate is anchored by a dark amber malt base that provides notes of caramel and toasted bread, balancing the tropical fruit and stone fruit layers. Despite its alternative grain composition, it maintains the classic structure of the style, finishing with a firm, lingering bitterness and a clean, refreshing snap that effectively cleanses the palate.
Appearance.Dark amber in color (SRM 12-14) with a medium-sized, creamy, off-white head that exhibits good retention and moderate lacing. The clarity is generally clear to slightly hazy.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity hop aroma featuring prominent citrus zest and floral notes from Centennial and Amarillo, complemented by the crushed gooseberry and white grape character of Nelson Sauvin. Supporting the hops is a moderate malt sweetness with hints of caramel and bready grain.
Taste.Initial impressions of sweet caramel and toasted malt are quickly met by a wave of tropical fruit, peach, and citrus hop flavors. A moderate hop bitterness provides balance against the subtle malt sweetness. The finish is notably bitter and lingering, yet clean, with an aftertaste of resin and stone fruit.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with moderate carbonation that provides a refreshing, crisp prickle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated. It lacks the heavy viscosity of traditional barley-based ales but avoids being watery or astringent.
