Ranfurly Station Pale Ale is a delightful offering from the Boundary Road Brewery in New Zealand. This American-style pale ale boasts a golden amber hue with a frothy white head that leaves a pleasant lacing on the glass. The aroma is dominated by citrusy hops, with notes of grapefruit, orange peel, and pineapple. Hints of pine and grassy undertones provide a well-balanced profile. On the palate, a refreshing burst of hop bitterness greets the senses, followed by juicy citrus and tropical fruit flavors. The malt backbone lends a subtle sweetness and a smooth mouthfeel, creating a medium-bodied and crisp, slightly effervescent experience. The finish lingers with a pleasant dryness, leaving a thirst-quenching sensation. Brewed with a blend of American and New Zealand hops, including Simcoe, Amarillo, and Waiiti, this pale ale strikes a harmonious balance between hop bitterness and malt sweetness, making it a highly drinkable and refreshing choice for warm weather or any occasion. It pairs well with grilled meats, poultry, seafood, salads, and spicy cuisines.
