Dry Hopped Pale Ale
“THE VAPORIZER” is a golden-hued Pale Ale that features a beautifully hoppy aroma and flavor. The malt is 100% Gambrinus Pilsner, our sweet and supple house malt from Gambrinus Malting in British Columbia. The hops are primarily of the Challenger variety, grown on a single farm in the Yakima Valley. We dry-hop “THE VAPORIZER” to pump up the hoppy goodness. It’s an appetizingly dry, clean and pure-tasting take on a hoppy Pale Ale. Brewed with Gambrinus Pilsner malt and Challenger hops.

Very pale. No head. Light clean pale malt - I like the choice of pilsner here. Has a very woody, austere sort of bitterness, finishing quick.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Cloudy blond color with small compact head. It has some smell of stale water. Dry and weak mouthfeel; some malt flavor with accents of hay and corn; strong bitterness, maybe a bit too strong.
Tastes like a bitter Lager, not bad, but also not exciting.

500 ml bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with medium head that dissipates quickly. Aromas of lemon wax and a little floral hops. Flavors of sharp floral hops and crisp yeasty notes. More like a saison but with a clear bitter finish. Quite nice.

Bottle - Vegetative hops, a bit grassy and sweet. Pale gold with a bubbly head. Fairly bitter for a light beer, almost overwhelms so you can’t get much else without searching. All I really get is a bitter pils like quality.

Tap at Double Mountain, Hood River, 24/05/13. Clear light golden with a thin white head. Nose is pale malt, grass, cereals, citrus, hops. Taste comprises bitter orange, light hops, citrus, hint of pine. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, crisp finish with light hop bitterness. Ok if a little uninspiring.

Bottle from Made in Oregon. Pours hazy translucent gold with a 3 finger foamy white head. Aroma is fruity with a little spiciness. Med body or better. It is very freshly hoppy, but it’s mostly earthy/pungent. But the nose continues fruity. Malt: yes. But not caramel. Light malt. This is very unusual, and extremely flavorful - but not in a hop burn way. Close, but not quite. Delicious.

Pours a cloudy yellow color with a large white head. A biscuit and honey nose. Smooth, some fruity hop, big grainy malt base. Very dry. Odd for the style.

Tap. Nice flowery hop aroma. Hazy pale yellow. Good grassy and citric hops on a fitting light body. Grassy retronasal. Unpretentious and pleasant sessionable brew.

Sampled at GCBF '10, pours yellow. More hoppy flavour than the India Red Ale, but with much to be desired in complexity. Drinkable.
