Petrichor (2016) by Choice Bros Brewing is a captivating Pale Ale that transports you to the great outdoors. This seasonal fresh wet hop ale boasts a deep amber-orange hue with a creamy light tan head that dissipates slowly. The aroma is intense and earthy, evoking the scent of freshly fallen rain on dry soil. Notes of forest floor, wet moss, and a hint of minerality mingle with subtle aromas of caramel, brown sugar, and toasted malt. The taste is full-bodied and complex, with a malty sweetness that is beautifully balanced by a refreshing acidity and bitterness. Dominant earthy flavors of petrichor and forest floor are accompanied by notes of wet grass, leather, and tobacco. Hints of caramel, toffee, and a touch of smokiness add depth to this remarkable brew. The medium-bodied mouthfeel is smooth and velvety, creating a pleasant and inviting drinkability. A light effervescence adds a refreshing quality, making Petrichor a truly memorable experience.
