La Pirata / Dougall’s Eau D’Houblon

This collaborative American Pale Ale highlights a fresh, local hop profile with vibrant aromas of grapefruit and pine. The inclusion of locally grown Chinook and Cascade hops provides a high-intensity sensory experience, layering bright citrus zest over a resinous, spicy undertone. A lean, neutral malt base of pale grains offers a subtle bready foundation without distracting from the hop-forward focus. The palate is clean and crisp, delivering a firm but refreshing bitterness that transitions into a dry, snappy finish. It is an exceptionally drinkable example of the style, balancing classic resinous qualities with a modern, bright citrus character.
