American Pale Ale 5 º

Willibald Farm Brewery

Honest! presents a vibrant sensory profile centered on a modern trio of New Zealand and American hops. The aroma leads with an intense burst of tropical passionfruit and citrus from the Galaxy additions, complemented by sweet pineapple and stone fruit notes from El Dorado. A sharp, resinous pine undertone driven by Waimea adds significant depth to the bouquet. On the palate, this American Pale Ale remains decidedly hop-forward, offering layers of melon and citrus over a clean, grainy pale malt base. It maintains a crisp, approachable balance with a moderate bitterness that cleanses the tongue. The finish is dry and refreshing, with lingering notes of grapefruit zest and crushed pine needles.

Appearance. Pale golden (approx. 6 SRM) with high clarity and a brilliant shimmer. Topped with a moderately large, white, creamy head featuring good retention and fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high hop intensity featuring prominent passionfruit, pineapple, and sweet melon. Secondary layers of resinous pine and citrus peel are evident. Low neutral, grainy maltiness provides a clean background. Fermentation is clean with no significant yeast esters.

Taste. Initial impression is bright and hop-focused. Tropical fruit flavors of peach and pineapple dominate the mid-palate. Moderate bitterness provides structure without harshness. The malt character is supportive and grainy, lacking heavy caramel or toast. Finishes dry and clean with a lingering citrus and pine aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Moderate-high carbonation provides a lively, refreshing tingle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is low and well-integrated.
