Marketplace

This story begins in a typical manner; the brewers at Fieldwork take their favorite mix of malted barley and extract sugars from it for fermentation, producing a mild malt character with a pinch of sweetness that barely clings to the drinker's lips. Next, they toss in a large amount of hops; El Dorado and Denali, to be exact, but here's where the story doesn't take a turn at all. While brewing this new Pale Ale called "Marketplace," the brewers followed the same cellar process that has made their IPAs better than tolerable since 2015; using a flavorful yeast and large dry-hopping to induce bountiful notes of tangerine, pineapple, and many of the other tropical fruits you'd find at the market. Now some final thoughts on this Pale Ale, let's do the numbers. ABV is clocking in at 5.9%, fairly high for a Pale Ale but remaining lower than your normal IPA and promisingly more drinkable. IBU's are lower than industry averages at only 20 international bittering units, which analysts think causes this Pale Ale to drink so fluffy and juice-like. Carbonation as well is lower than we have grown accustomed to, with 2.40 units of CO2 in solution, keeping the hops soaking on your tongue. Speaking of hops, 3.75 pounds per barrel are used to saturate the aforementioned Pale Ale with notes of tropical fruit combinations that belong in cartons of juice in your local market. We all hope that drinking a glass of Marketplace Pale Ale will tell a better story than I just did. Thanks for listening. Show Less
