Villages Realms is a modern, rustic American Pale Ale that masterfully blends a complex grain bill with vibrant tropical hops. A pastoral foundation of Bestmalz Heidelberg, Spelt, and Malted Wheat provides a savoury, bready backbone, while Jumbo Oats and Chit Malts contribute a smooth, silky mouthfeel. Fermentation with Lallemand Farmhouse yeast introduces a subtle, dry phenolic spice that perfectly complements the intense mango hop profile. This pale ale balances its rural, grainy character with a bright, fruity intensity, resulting in a highly drinkable and refreshing experience that remains crisp and dry through to the finish.
Appearance.Pale golden (5-7 SRM) with a slight, rustic haze. Features a moderately large, white, creamy head with good retention and delicate lacing.
Aroma.Moderately high intensity of ripe mango and tropical fruit hops. The malt character is grainy and bready, featuring Bestmalz Heidelberg and a slight nutty note from the Spelt and Wheat. Low to moderate spicy, peppery phenolics from the farmhouse yeast add complexity.
Taste.Initial impression of vibrant mango and tropical stone fruit. The malt flavor is savoury and bread-like with a rustic graininess. Bitterness is moderate and well-balanced against the dry fermentation character of the Lallemand Farmhouse yeast. Finishes medium-dry and clean with a lingering tropical hop aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with enhanced smoothness and creaminess from the Jumbo Oats and Chit Malts. Carbonation is moderate-high, creating a lively mouthfeel. No alcohol warmth or astringency.
