Pale Ale 4.8 º

Turning Point Brew Co.

This American Pale Ale delivers a vibrant, sensory-focused experience driven by the use of Citra and Harlequin hops. The aroma is a bright bouquet of passionfruit, peach, and zesty lime, supported by a clean, neutral malt backbone featuring hints of bready crackers. On the palate, the tropical intensity of the Harlequin hops pairs seamlessly with the signature citrus profile of Citra, providing flavors of grapefruit and pineapple. A firm but balanced bitterness provides structure, leading into a crisp, dry finish that emphasizes drinkability. The overall character is refreshing and hop-forward, showcasing modern hop varieties in a highly accessible, medium-light format.

Appearance. Pale golden to light amber (5-8 SRM); moderately large, frothy white head with good retention and light lacing; generally clear to brilliant clarity.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity hop aroma featuring tropical fruit (passionfruit, pineapple), stone fruit (peach), and citrus (lime, grapefruit). Low neutral, grainy-sweet maltiness provides a supportive base. Clean fermentation profile with very low fruity esters.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with flavors of citrus zest and tropical fruit. Malt flavor is low to moderate, presenting as lightly bready or toasted. Bitterness is moderate to high but well-integrated. The balance leans toward the hops, finishing dry and clean with a lingering citrus and resinous aftertaste that remains smooth.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation. Very low alcohol warmth, appropriate for the 4.8% ABV. Smooth texture without any perceived astringency or harshness from the hops.
