American Pale Ale 5 º

Two Towns Down

This American Pale Ale highlights the distinct tropical profile of Vic Secret hops, delivering an expressive sensory experience at a sessionable 5% ABV. Vivid notes of fresh pineapple and pulpy passionfruit dominate the foreground, backed by a subtle, resinous pine character characteristic of the variety. A clean, supportive malt base of neutral grain allows the hop oils to shine without competition. The palate finds a harmonious balance between moderate bitterness and a crisp, dry finish, resulting in a refreshing and hop-forward pint that emphasizes modern New World aromatics.

Appearance. Pours a pale golden color (6 SRM) with a moderately large, white, frothy head that exhibits good retention and leaves light lacing. Clarity is generally clear, showing only a very slight haze common in dry-hopped versions.

Aroma. Moderately high hop aroma featuring prominent notes of pineapple, passionfruit, and a touch of herbal pine. The hop character is supported by a low, neutral, grainy maltiness. Fermentation is clean with very low fruity esters beyond those contributed by the hops.

Taste. The initial impression is hop-forward, with flavors of tropical pineapple and stone fruit mirroring the aroma. A moderate hop bitterness provides structure against a lean, crackery malt backdrop. The fermentation profile is exceptionally clean, leading into a medium-dry finish where a light, resinous hop flavor and clean bitterness linger briefly.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate carbonation that provides a crisp, refreshing sting on the tongue. The finish is smooth and devoid of any hop-derived astringency or alcohol harshness.
