Step by step, our Scratch team has been walking toward a brand new pale ale, and our compass is pointing in this direction. A malt bill with more than 50 percent oats gives Scratch #380 a smooth mouthfeel, and unmalted wheat adds haze and props up the bright hop combination. Citra takes center stage with notes of passionfruit and lychee, Lotus adds hints of orange rind and vanilla cream, and El Dorado works with a new-to-us yeast to pull in flavors of candied peach.

We taste: peach, passionfruit, lychee.

Availability: draft & growler fills only.
