Veer 24B6 is a bright, spring-focused American Pale Ale that balances crisp Pale malt with a complex hop profile. The use of Chinook hops delivers a foundational sensory experience of grapefruit, resinous pine, and fresh herbs. A secondary infusion of Cascade hops via dry hopping elevates the floral and citrus top notes, while the inclusion of rye adds a subtle, spicy complexity to the grain bill. Refreshing and thirst-quenching at 4.5% ABV, it offers a clean, pale presentation with a well-defined bitterness that transitions into a crisp, dry finish, perfectly capturing the transition into warmer weather.
Appearance.Pale golden color (approximately 6 SRM) with brilliant clarity. It is topped by a moderately large, white head with good retention and delicate lacing.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity hop aroma featuring grapefruit and floral notes from Cascade and Chinook, alongside herbal and pine resin. The malt presence is low and grainy from the Pale malt, with a faint, peppery spice from the rye and a clean fermentation profile.
Taste.Initial citrus and grapefruit zest lead into a resiny pine character. A moderate hop bitterness is balanced by a supportive malt base of fresh bread and crackers. A light rye spiciness adds complexity before finishing dry and crisp with lingering citrus and herbal hop flavors.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation, creating a lively and refreshing sensation. Smooth finish with no perceived alcohol warmth and very low astringency.
