Pale Ale - American Style / APA Regular

Score

7.04

ABV: 5.2%

IBU: -

Ticks: 8

This West Coast Pale Ale is chock full of the classic American hops that use to dominate IPA in the good ol’ days. A big hop bill of Simcoe, Centennial, Amarillo, Columbus, Ekuanot, and Cascade Cryo brings bold flavours of grapefruit, pine and candied orange peel. We’ve fermented with a crisp, clean California yeast to really let the hops shine. Even though this is a 5.2% pale you can expect big flavours, slightly sweet caramel malts and plenty of palate cleansing bitterness to make this a super crushable west coast trip. Time to slap on those chaps and take this puppy for a ride. Yee Haw! – The Texas Tornado.

Thin off white head left a spotty cover on hazy dull orange coloured body. Punchy hopped up aroma with malt & stewed fruit. Medium bodied, soft over the tongue with a sharp back. Malt, caramel, marmalade, pine, orange & bitter hop tastes with a long pithy finish. Excellent.
