Pacific Pale Ale – Bright, Citrusy, and Bursting with Flavour
Our Pacific Pale Ale is a bright, hop-forward pale ale with bold citrus and tropical fruit notes, balanced by a smooth malt backbone. This is one of our personal favourites—a refreshing and super drinkable beer that brings out the best of West Coast-style hops.
The hop profile starts with Cascade, adding a crisp grapefruit and floral bitterness early in the boil. Northern Brewer contributes a subtle herbal and evergreen character, grounding the beer with a clean, structured bitterness. As the brew progresses, Citra steps in, bringing layers of mango, passionfruit, and lime, while Mosaic rounds things out with hints of berry, tropical fruit, and pine. A generous dry-hop of Citra and Mosaic amplifies those bright, juicy aromas, making every sip vibrant and refreshing.
The malt bill keeps things balanced without overshadowing the hops. A foundation of Canadian 2-Row provides a clean and crisp base, while a touch of Maris Otter adds depth with its signature biscuity sweetness. Crystal Medium brings a subtle caramel brightness, and a hint of Munich malt deepens the golden colour while contributing a touch of malt richness.
This pale ale is all about fresh, punchy hop character with a smooth, easy finish. It’s got enough bitterness to satisfy hop lovers, but it stays refreshing and approachable—perfect for any occasion.
