American Pale Ale 4.8 º

WILLS

This American Pale Ale presents a bright, New World hop profile defined by the distinctive presence of Nelson and Motueka hops. Effervescent and inviting, it opens with a vibrant bouquet of crushed white grapes and gooseberry from the Nelson, seamlessly intertwined with the zesty lime and lemon-balm qualities of Motueka. A lean, supportive base of neutral pale malt provides a clean, crackery foundation that allows the Southern Hemisphere hops to shine. The bitterness is firm yet refreshing, leading to a crisp, dry finish. It is a highly drinkable, modern interpretation that balances tropical fruit elegance with a sharp, citrus-driven snap.

Appearance. Pale golden (approx. 5-7 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a moderately large, frothy white head that shows good persistence and leaves fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderately high hop intensity featuring prominent passionfruit, white wine grapes, and gooseberry. Complementary citrus aromas of fresh lime zest and lemon are present. Low, neutral grainy-sweet maltiness supports the hop bouquet. Fermentation is clean with very low, subtle fruity esters.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward, showcasing white grape, lime, and tropical fruit flavors. Moderate to high bitterness provides a clean counterpoint to the low, bready malt character. The fermentation profile is neutral, ensuring the New World hops remain the primary focus. The balance leans toward the hops, finishing dry and clean with a lingering lime-pith aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation. Very smooth and refreshing; no alcohol warmth or astringency present.
