What is Bouncy House? It’s the next step in our quest to brew the perfect low-alcohol, high-flavor, hoppy American ale. We learned a few things from brewing ParadoX earlier this year, like lowering the alcohol content and avoiding the terms "session" and "IPA." When you taste Bouncy House, you’ll taste a modest malt bill of North American 2-row, British pale ale malt, C-60 and Aromatic malt mashed for a refreshingly light body that leaves plenty of spotlight for a melange of Warrior, Calypso, El Dorado and Citra hops.

Hmm what to tell here. Aroma is zero to none, one has to pay close attention to notice mild citruses. Head quickly dissappears. Hops play prime in taste, but that’s it. Meh.

bottle - Hazy gold pour, smells mainly of citrus hops. The flavor is bitter with some citrus and resin notes and bready malt. Light to medium bodied. Fairly good.

Bottle. An almost clear one, golden in color and with a finger-thick white head on top. Lightly piney aroma, with pine cones, resins and a touch of pale malts. Lightly cheesy hops, might be age, pine cones, resins and some maltyness in the rather bitter flavor. Medium body, semi-dry and pleasantly carbonated, with a lasting bitter finish. Easy drinkable and quite pleasant, but nothing special going on. 160504

Bottle from Drink? Hebden Bridge. Clear golden with a small carbonation and a very thin head. Has a lovely smoothish pale ale texture, mainly dry tasting with a tropical fruitiness behind this, and a bitterness. Hoppy, especially in its nose.

355 ml bottle. Clear golden body with a medium sized white head. Aroma is mostly fruity with a hint of metal. Something here reminds me a bit of Perry. Flavor is mild, pale malt, some citric fruit and moderate bitterness. Medium body and light aftertaste. Pretty straight forward, but also very close to the best before date, so I assume this was a lot better a few months ago.
