Old School APA
The first in our tattoo inspired ‘Toughie Sticker’ series - American Traditional, old school APA. Plump Autumn barley malt and a traditional touch of crystal creates the perfect canvas for US hop varieties Centennial, Amarillo and Simcoe in a beer loaded with juicy apricot stonefruit, punchy orange, tangerine and grapefruit bitterness balanced with caramel malt sweetness. Get inked!

Can. Amber, a near cm of white head. Aroma of somewhat sticky breadcrust, pine, grapefruit, weeds. Malty but clean and not very sweet with hop aromatics oozing through rather than floating on top. Finish gradually tightens to a weedy and piney bitter point. Cracking. [edit - another try suggested I was a bit stingy with 7.8]
