Notes:
American Pale Ale
12oz Bottle
6.0% ABV
60 IBUs
Appearance:
Pours a cloudy, deep autumn orange…tons of fluffy, cream colored head
that is lasting…doesn’t look a bit watery, very inviting…(4.5/5)
Smell: All that
luscious head covers up most of the aroma, however, afterward I catch whiffs of
citrus, earthy, piney hops and sweet/pale malts…(4/5)
Taste: Pale
malt beginning…citrus, piney and floral hops do come through in the middle…this
isn’t like the normal APA I’ve tried…sweet, pale malt carries through much of
the flavor while the hops are playing a complimentary role…with that said,
there is lemon, pine and floral hops in the later stages…hops resin all over my
tongue…yum! (4/5)
Mouthfeel: Light
body, with plenty of carbonation…fluff brings some lemon zest and hops
bitterness to my tongue, very tasty…it’s crisp, smooth and refreshing...some
citrus/floral hops bitterness in the after taste…(4/5)
Overall: It’s a
nice surprise (or deviation) from the classic, citrus hop heavy west coast pale
ales that are coming out now…the sweet pale malts are flavorful and the citrus/piney
hops do bring a nice zest to the situation…really, a nicely worked beer that is
very drinkable…in a perfect world, I’d drag a sixer of this around with me
while playing a round disc golf and be very happy…tasty! (4/5)
Score:
(4.06/5)
