Pale Ale - American Style / APA Regular

Score

6.74

ABV: 5.0%

IBU: -

Ticks: 31

Our flagship beer, and the beer that we like to think helped popularise the New England IPA style in Ireland. It spent over a year in development but we feel the finished product bears out the fruits of our labour. It pours a deep hazy gold with a large white head thanks to the additions of wheat, oats and an extremely generous dry hop. Mango, fluffy clouds and pineapple come through on the nose, flavours that are borne out on the taste, accentuated by a soft texture and a very subtle dryness.

Malts used are Irish Pale, Oats, Carapils and Crystal while hops are Mosaic, El Dorado and Citra.

On tap at Skeff. Immense tropical hoppy aroma. Fresh passion fruit. Soft citrus notes, some candy in the back. Smooth, medium body, creamy. Guava and passion fruit flavour, great fresh hoppy profile, slightly one-sided. Finishes sweet.
