Our first Pale Ale is an example of the spicy, assertive style of beer that can only be described as American. It uses an American Ale Yeast and American Hops in a recipe that is designed to confront and engage your palate. Chair City is spirited, with a hoppy, in-your-face, aroma. Its citrus and floral notes are the result of the chemistry of fermentation and the generous use of Cascade hops in the later stages of the boil. Our first pale ale is given the name Chair City because, like the Chair City, it is solid, energetic, remarkable, and will be around for a long time.

Draft at the source. Light yellow color. Thin ring of white head. Texture is grainy with body being light. Nose and flavor run hand-in-hand. Light floral hops with a small amount of cracker like malt. Moderate lingering bitterness in the finish. Nice and straight forward.

6th August 2010. GBBF.
Clear amber beer with a little suddy head. Light semi dry palate. Nice fresh hops over a semi dry malt base. Orange, pineapple and pine. Not overdone. Just a little bitterness in the aftertaste.

A hazed amber ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, classic hops, floral with biscuitty malts. In mouth, a crisp malt with citrusy floral hops, quite good. On tap at VT Brewers Fest, July 17 2010.

From cask. Pours clear and golden orange with a fully gone head. Aroma is nice grapefruity and peachy hops. Slight sweet malty. Crisp peachy bitter and nice citrusy. Dry and bitter into a fruity lasting finish.
