A 21ST CENTURY PALE ALE
There's an old saying; 'The more things change, the more they change'. This is NOT the same tasty Pale Ale we brewed at the beginning. It has accomplished what we all eventally want for ourselves; It has been made new again. We never let this sexy old girl go unbrewed... We dug its hops and its soft malt thing, but as we at the Brewery have changed we, well, we grew apart. So we decided to get her a chin lift. The results were good, we got a tummy tuck and a brow flip to go with it and there was a little flab that we lipo-sucked out. The results were so good that we went all the way and performed a scalp-scrape, a through-the-arm-pit implant thingy, a toe flop, a cuticle float, a radical corto-conical inter-abdominal spine snip and hip and knuckle replacement to boot. Now the beer is almost unrecognizable even to its former self and while the final version is brighter and more sexy in every way, the same old girl is still underneath it all in the soul of the flavor as it spreads itself across your palate and enters your blood on its way to your brain to make your mind do tricks...

Admin Note: This beer has been re-branded recently as just DogTown Pale Ale

Draught from blind tiger, a somewhat coppery golden pour, mild head, aroma is hops, a pretty standard pale ale, a bit on the piney side. Good.

Bottle. Amber gold color. Great head and lace. Aroma is grapefruit. Taste is grapefruit, spruce, a tad sweet upfront and bitter after taste.

Bottiglia. Un arco olfattivo dominato dal fruttato. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è grossolana. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. La frizzantezza si presenta sotto forma di perlage dalle bollicine medio-fini. Il colore è giallo ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è deciso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la persistenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al palato arrivano caratteristiche di miele, nocciola, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, agrumi e pompelmo.

Bottle from Beer Republic. Aroma is fruity and piney hops with tropical fruits, grapefruit, pine resin, malt, and some citrus. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with a bitter finish. Body is medium. Solid APA, well-hopped with plenty of grapefruit and pine.

Bottle from Antenna America. Aroma is citrussy, lemon, touch of solvents! Taste is good, pretty bitter, lemon is prominent, biscuity maltiness lingering in the background. Nice.

Bevuta in bottiglia. Buoni aromi. Leggero amaro. Non male per il genere che non mi va.
