Yellow Peak is a vibrant, sessionable American Pale Ale that highlights a modern hop trio against a crisp, lean profile. The aroma is led by the tropical fruit and dark berry notes of Mosaic, complemented by the bright, zesty orange character of Amarillo. Underpinning these fruits is a distinct resinous and citrusy pine spike from Summit hops. On the palate, the beer delivers a refreshing wave of grapefruit and stone fruit with a light, grainy malt backbone. Its light body and clean fermentation allow the layered hop flavors to shine, culminating in a moderate, snappy bitterness and a dry, refreshing finish.
Appearance.Pale golden (5-6 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a moderately large, white, frothy head that exhibits good retention and leaves light lacing on the glass.
Aroma.Moderately high hop intensity featuring notes of blueberries, passionfruit, and mango from the Mosaic dry-hop. Secondary notes of navel orange and grapefruit zest (Amarillo) are present, alongside a background of resinous pine (Summit). Low neutral, bready maltiness provides a clean base with minimal yeast esters.
Taste.Initial impression is hop-forward with flavors of ripe citrus and tropical fruit. Amarillo provides a distinct tangerine and orange peel flavor, while Mosaic contributes complex berry and melon characteristics. Summit hops lend a firm, moderate bitterness and a touch of herbal spice. The malt is low and crackery, supporting the hops without adding sweetness. Finishes dry and clean with lingering citrus oils.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a crisp, refreshing texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, enhancing the beer's brightness. Extremely smooth with no alcohol warmth and zero astringency.
