Our Dry Hopped American Pale Ale (APA) is charged with American hops to create a bold, aromatic ale. Assertive hop flavor joins the pine/citrus aroma characteristic of American hops to balance the full body provided by North American malts. After fermentation, the beer circulates through a bed of Cascade and Chinook hops, boosting the distinctive hop aroma of this satisfying ale.

courtesy of hwwty4. pours amber/orange with a nice clear and lasting white head. Aroma is very refreshing. Notes of hops, malts, fruits with grapefruit and sweet citrus aromas. Taste, light palate, pale malts with sweet fruity notes of grapefruit and hints of caramel. Very faint bitter mouthfeel. Highly drinkable with nice velvety palate. My kind of APA/IPA not swarmed by bitter hops. This is a fine nice beer.

Tap at Schlafly Bottleworks. Copper color with a creamy white head. Aromas of sweet malt and floral hops. Medium body with medium carbonation. It is incredibly fruity. With some caramel undernotes. Finishes fruity bitter, but so fruity the bitter is hardly noticeable. Incredible ale.

Sample at the Lambert St. Louis airport location (as Expedition Reserve). Clear amber-orange color with a thin off-white head that dissipates steadily. Stringy lacing. Aroma of floral hops and citrus. Medium body with flavors of floral hops, citrus and toasted malt. The finish is moderately hoppy and fruity and lingers awhile. Pretty good overall.

Rating #300 - "Roll Out the Barrel" Bottle. Tasted at Schlafly tasting at the Lukas KCMO wine bar. This was a nice beer. From the initial aroma, you could tell this one was well hopped. Taste is hoppy, but a nice balance of malt in there as well. Some slight bitterness and sweetness in the finish.

Hop in the City: Pine and grapefruit aroma revealed the hops in this beer, but the nose was not near as aromatic as other Cascade hopped beers. Medium body and moderately bitter flavor with notes of grapefruit and sweet malts. The bitterness does linger. Thought this should have had a crisper edge to it.

A very nice offering from Schlaflyβs. Pours a nice honey color with a pretty decent head. Aroma is singular, hops and grapefruit? Taste is a nice mix of hops and grain that blends really nicely together. Crisp.
