Halcyon Pale Ale was born as an ode to our favorite modern Belgian pale ales then reinterpreted through Dutchess’ own English-American lens. Crisp, dry, and bursting with lively noble hops - all held together with a firm classic bitterness that stirs the palate and refreshes the senses. Brewed with the finest Flemish Summer barley, with generous Chinook, Styrian Golding, Saphir hops selected for their distinct subtle aromas of evergreen, white grapefruit, lemongrass, and orchard blossoms. Fermented cold with Dutchess’ house Lager strain, Halcyon is a clean, dynamic old world Pale Ale that makes a bold new impression.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark orange cardboard color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: light tones of grapefruit, lemon, floral hops, some sweet grains and lean biscuity malt backbone
Flavor: gently blends the aromas together to come up with a mild malty sweetness underscored by the hops; light aftertaste of the malts with some lemon to floral hops
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness along the tongue; finishes malt forward with a touch of the lemony hoppiness
Overall: pretty good pale ale - seemed kinda old school but I didn't mind for me.
