This Pale Ale marks the 1yr Anniversary of Cellarmaker’s first brew (Batch 1 Porter) on September 17, 2013. We loaded this Pale Ale up with Simcoe hops (an all time favorite of ours) in the boil and dry hop as well as Motueka in the boil and some Galaxy in the dry hop. Please enjoy this ale that is the culmination of a year of hop experimentation.

The beer is a pale, amberish yellow color. Small white head. Fades pretty quickly. Some lacing. More words about appearance. Mild but juicy hop aroma. Tropical fruit with a sharper citrus backbone. Pineapple, mango and papaya with grapefruit rind. Mild honeyish pale malt sweetness somewhere in the background. The taste is super juicy with more hop complexity. Resinous and tropical fruit finish that lasts surprisingly. The aroma belies the hop flavor in the taste. Surprise hops. Moderate malt sweetness for those hops to sit on. Hop oily feel but light otherwise. Tasty stuff.

Tap. Poured clear butterscotch, small white head, decent lacing. Aroma is spruce, cat piss, citrus. Flavor is very light set, light bitter, herbal, spruce, dank. Medium light body, a bit of lingering harsh.
