Not too sweet, not too bitter, not too strong, and not too light. This is an easy-drinking beer with a balanced character.

This American Pale Ale is all about balance and drinkability. It sits comfortably between malt and hops, with a clean malt backbone and just enough hop character to keep things interesting without pushing too far in any direction. It’s not overly sweet, bitter, strong, or light; just a well-rounded beer designed to be easy to drink and hard to fault.

Maintain good oxygen minimisation practices when dry hopping and transferring from the fermenter into kegs or bottles. We would recommend using a fining agent like biofine clear A3 or a micronised gelatin to get this beer looking bright and clear.
