American Pale Ale 4.5 º 10 IBU

Vibrant Forest Brewery

Betula is a vibrant American Pale Ale showcasing a lush, modern hop profile atop a soft, wheat-heavy malt base. The sensory experience is defined by the expressive interplay of Vic Secret and Citra hops, delivering intense waves of ripe peach, dank grapefruit, and tropical fruit notes. Fermented with London Fog yeast, the beer gains an added layer of succulent stone fruit esters that complement the hop-derived bouquet. Despite the fruit-forward intensity, it maintains a refreshing character with a light, clean bitterness. This sessionable ale balances its hop-forward aromatics with a smooth, approachable body, offering a bright and tropical drinking experience.

Appearance. Pale golden (5-7 SRM). Moderate white head with good retention and light lacing. Slightly hazy due to the wheat-heavy grist and yeast strain.

Aroma. Moderately high intensity featuring prominent hop-derived notes of peach, grapefruit, and ripe mango. A soft, grainy, bread-like wheat maltiness provides a subtle backdrop. Noticeable estery stone fruit notes from the fermentation blend seamlessly with the tropical hop character.

Taste. Initial impression of tropical fruit and citrus. Prominent flavors of juicy peach and dank grapefruit dominate, supported by a soft, bready malt foundation. Bitterness is moderate and clean, balancing the fruit sweetness without harshness. The finish is medium-dry with lingering notes of stone fruit and a gentle citrus zest.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a soft, slightly creamy texture derived from the wheat. Moderate carbonation. Negligible alcohol warmth. Smooth finish with no astringency.
