American Wheat or Rye Beer 5.5 º 30 IBU

Westbrook Brewing

This American Pale Ale presents a vibrant sensory profile driven by the interplay of zesty Citra hops and the distinctive inclusion of malted rye. The initial impression is highly tropical and citrusy, leading into a crisp, spicy mid-palate characteristic of the rye additions. On the nose, intense notes of grapefruit, mango, and a hint of cracked black pepper predominate, supported by a lean, bready malt backbone. It finishes remarkably clean with a firm but balanced bitterness that highlights the hop character without overwhelming the palate. This is a bright, refreshing, and aromatically complex take on the classic style.

Appearance. Pale golden to light amber (6–8 SRM). Features a moderately large, frothy white head with excellent retention and delicate lacing. Clarity is clear, though a faint haze may be present from dry-hopping.

Aroma. Moderate to high hop intensity featuring dominant notes of mango, lime zest, and grapefruit from the Citra hops. A distinct spicy and grainy malt character from the malted rye provides a savory contrast. Fermentation is clean with no noticeable esters or phenols.

Taste. Initial hop flavors of tropical fruit and citrus are followed by the characteristic spicy, peppery snap of malted rye. Bitterness is moderate to firm, supporting a lean malt profile without being harsh. The balance leans toward the hops, finishing dry and clean with a lingering citrus zest aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a crisp, slightly drying texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, enhancing the zesty hop character. Smooth finish with no astringency and very low alcohol warmth.
