Dusty Roadz is a special beer made for a special dude. One of our Co-founders Dustin Durrance kept telling our head brewer Matt that he wanted to see us brew a pale ale. Matt kept telling Dustin "nah". Then one day, Matt gave in to Dustin and said "yah"! This is our first ever "pale ale" and might be one of the only we brew. Dusty Roadz is a 5.2% heavily hopped/dry-hopped pale ale with a ton of Citra, Citra Cryo, and Nelson Sauvin hops. We are THRILLED how this turned out. If low abv hoppy crushers are your jam, make sure to grab this one.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: pale yellow cardboard haziness with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: grapefruity, some sweet onion, some floral hop elements, mixed citrusy hops; then a light clean biscuity malt backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bitter to bittersweet semi-juicy quality; finishes leaning into the grapefruit, floral and mixed citrusy tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; pretty smooth along the tongue; light hop bitterness assertiveness but really - it's pretty non offensive
Overall: I say a pretty nicely done NEPA worthy of coming back to.

Lilly, grapefruit nose. Cloudy amber, medium head, good lace. Lilly, scallion, grapefruit. Medium body, easy carbonation. Well hopped, frankly this is more of session IPA, if not a full blown IPA.

Draft pour at Dominion Wine and Beer. Poured a cloudy yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was nice citrus, some creamy vanilla. Light lemon juice, some zesty bitter grapefruit. Really pleasant.
