Pale Ale 5 º

Willibald Farm Brewery

Nectar presents a vibrant, floral interpretation of an American Pale Ale, uniquely elevated by the addition of hibiscus and honey. The sensory experience is led by a bright bouquet of Citra hops, offering sharp notes of grapefruit zest and tropical lime that meld seamlessly with the botanical, tea-like essence of hibiscus. A delicate thread of honey adds floral complexity without excessive sweetness, drying out the finish alongside a crisp, moderate bitterness. This pale ale balances its traditional citrus-forward hop profile with an elegant tartness and a refreshing, botanical snap, resulting in a refined and highly drinkable ale.

Appearance. Rose-gold to pinkish-amber (7-11 SRM). Moderately large, off-white to faint pink head with good retention and light lacing. Generally clear to brilliant.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Dominant Citra hop character featuring grapefruit, lime, and mango. Distinctive hibiscus additions provide a floral, slightly tart, berry-like aroma. Honey adds a subtle floral depth over a low, neutral grainy malt background. Clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression of citrusy hops and floral botanicals. Citra flavors of grapefruit and lychee are prominent, supported by a gentle cranberry-like tartness from the hibiscus. Honey provides a floral accent rather than sugary sweetness. Moderate bitterness balances the supportive, bready malt. The finish is dry and clean with lingering notes of citrus zest and dried flowers.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Moderate to high carbonation. Very low alcohol warmth. No significant astringency despite the botanical components.
