Vocation Brewery Big Foot
This American Pale Ale highlights the singular, resinous power of 100% Simcoe hops. It opens with an unmistakable, fresh piney aroma and layers of forest floor earthiness characteristic of the hop variety. A neutral, bready malt base provides the essential structure without competing for attention, allowing the bold hop flavors to dominate the palate. Described as an East Coast Pale, it offers a slightly softer approach than its West Coast counterparts, balancing its firm bitterness with a smooth, drinkable finish. It is a clean, hop-forward tribute to the classic Pacific Northwest profile in a sessionable format.
Appearance. Pale gold to light amber (6-8 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Topped by a moderately large, frothy white head that exhibits good retention and leaves a delicate lacing on the glass.
Aroma. Moderately high intensity, dominated by the sharp, fresh scent of pine needles and resinous sap from the Simcoe hops. Underlying notes of light grapefruit zest and a hint of damp earth are supported by a low, clean, grainy malt presence. Fermentation is clean with negligible esters.
Taste. The initial impression is hop-forward, delivering punchy pine and woody resin flavors. A moderate bitterness provides a firm backbone, while a light, bready malt sweetness offers brief balance. The finish is medium-dry and clean, with a lingering piney aftertaste that remains crisp rather than harsh.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a refreshing prickle on the tongue. There is no perceived alcohol warmth or astringency.
