Traginer Amarillo Dry Hopping
Ale 5.8 º
This American Pale Ale highlights the vibrant, sunny profile of Amarillo hops, accentuated by a dedicated dry-hopping process. The sensory experience opens with a burst of zesty orange and sweet grapefruit, underscored by a delicate floral perfume characteristic of the variety. A clean foundation of neutral pale malts provides a soft, bready backbone with hints of toasted biscuit, ensuring the hops remain the focus without becoming harsh. The 5.8% ABV provides a subtle, integrated warmth that carries the citrus oils through a crisp, medium-dry finish. Balanced and approachable, it exemplifies the refreshing, hop-forward nature of the style through modern craft techniques.
Appearance. Deep gold to pale amber with brilliant clarity. Pours with a moderately large, creamy off-white head that exhibits good retention and leaves delicate lacing on the glass.
Aroma. Moderate to high hop intensity featuring prominent notes of lemon peel, orange marmalade, and a distinct flowery quality driven by the Amarillo dry-hopping. A low, clean maltiness provides a supportive base of light cracker and bread crust. Fermentation esters are low and neutral.
Taste. The initial impression is hop-forward, delivering layers of citrus zest and pithy grapefruit. The bitterness is moderate to firm, balanced by a slim malt profile of honeyed biscuit and light toast. Fermentation is clean, leading to a medium-dry finish where lingering citrus oils and a clean, floral bitterness persist in the aftertaste without any harshness.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture from the hop resins. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a refreshing prickle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is light, pleasant, and well-integrated.
