A thirst-quenching American Pale Ale with a pleasurable hop aroma and taste. A chip off the same block as our Big Nose cypress knee wood spirit, Stump Knocker is a bit smaller, but he’s got the same hop headed attitude!

Stump Knocker features late flavor and aroma hops, augmented with dry hopping and our unique hop filtering process as we transfer the fermented ale to conditioning tanks for carbonation and aging. These techniques produce a hop-centered ale with a crisp, balanced finish that will recharge your palate!

American barley malts
Centennial and Amarillo hops

Draft - Floral hops with a caramel backbone. Clear copper with a decent beige head. Orange and caramel with a bit of resin and a dry finish. Dry resin bitterness in the finish is pretty big.

Fucken can @ home, courtesy of DrewFace. Cheers Flo Rida bro! Pours a deep burnt orange appearance with a tan head. Bready caramel, burnt malty, light butterscotch, caramelized sugary, bland hoppy aroma. Burnt, a touch smoky malty, roasted leaves, herbal light citrusy flavor. Tastes old and shitty.

Draf. Cloudy orange color, small but thick white head, solid lacing. Aroma of orange peel and lemon bread. Taste is rising raw bread dough and bitter orange. Not bad.

Hazy amber with a thick head. The aroma is massive and weedy. Mmmmmm hop cone. Medium bitterness, kind of creamy and with a good hop character.

Draft @ Redlight Redlight: Poured a hazy copper with a white head. Aroma is hops and sweet malt. Taste is smooth with hops, but has a bit of bitterness to it that keeps it edgy. Finish is soft on the palate.

Sample at Dunedin. This brew pours a slightly hazed golden-orange color with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily. Stringy lacing. Hoppy aroma with notes of pine and citrus. medium body with flavors of piney hops, cracker-infused malt and fruit. The finish is hoppy with a citrus aftertaste. Decent overall.

A golden ale with a thin white head. In aroma, superb Nelson Sauvin hops, grape, white wine, lemons, superb. In mouth, a nice light quaffer of a pale ale with light biscuitty malts, very smooth hops. On tap at Oldsmar Tap House, Jan. 4 2011.
