Meenans Pale Ale is a captivating offering from the renowned Meenans Wines and Spirits. Hailing from New Zealand, this pale ale boasts a deep golden color with a slightly hazy appearance, topped by a thick, creamy white head that dissipates slowly, leaving behind a delicate lacing of foam. The aroma of Meenans Pale Ale is a complex and inviting blend, with prominent notes of citrus fruits such as grapefruit and lemon, complemented by hints of floral hops and grassy undertones. The subtle maltiness provides a solid foundation for the hop character, creating a harmonious and enticing bouquet. On the palate, the beer delivers a balanced and refreshing experience. The flavors mirror the aroma, with citrus and floral hop notes taking center stage. The malt contributes a bready sweetness that counteracts the bitterness of the hops, while a slight earthy and herbal flavor lingers in the finish. The medium-bodied mouthfeel, coupled with a crisp and slightly prickly carbonation, creates a refreshing dryness that invites another sip.
