American Pale Ale 4.2 º

Turning Point Brew Co.

Threshold Guardian is a vibrant American Pale Ale that masterfully balances a sessionable ABV with a robust sensory punch. This hazy pour features a distinctively modern hop profile driven by the trifecta of Centennial, Citra, and Azacca. The aroma is led by high notes of grapefruit and tropical mango, supported by a soft, bready foundation of malted barley and wheat. On the palate, expect a refreshing wave of citrus zest and stone fruit that yields to a clean, moderate bitterness. The addition of wheat provides a smooth, supple texture, making this a highly approachable and refreshing expression of the style.

Appearance. Pale gold to light amber (approx. 5-7 SRM). Large, creamy white head with excellent retention and lacing. Distinctly hazy to opaque due to the wheat content and being unfined.

Aroma. Moderately high intensity. Dominated by tropical fruit like mango and pineapple from Azacca and Citra, alongside citrusy grapefruit and a touch of piney, floral Centennial. Low bready and slightly grainy malt character. Clean fermentation with negligible esters.

Taste. Initial impression is bright and hop-forward. Flavors of citrus peel and ripe tropical fruit mirror the aroma. Low bready malt sweetness provides a brief platform for the firm hop bitterness. Finish is dry and crisp with lingering notes of lemon zest and resin.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a slightly creamy, soft texture derived from the wheat. Moderate to high carbonation. Very low alcohol warmth. Smooth and refreshing without any hop-derived astringency.
