Care for some hops with your hops? Before we ferment our 5 Barrel Pale Ale, we strain it through a bed of 'em. Then while it ages, we add even more. We like how this gives the beer a fresh, lively finish. We like hops.
As we go about refining the recipe for each new beer, we brew up just five barrels at a time. That's exactly how we arrived at this pale ale -- so that's what we named it. Plus, it sounded a lot nicer than Giant Vat Pale Ale.

classic pale ale with a firm bitterness and a good hop combo. Clean and good, just not something I’d want a lot of. Odell Fort Collins

12 oz bottle from a variety pack. Aroma is floral, grain. Pours mostly clear new penny copper with a collapsing off-white head. Taste is light to moderately bitter with flavors of herbal and spicy hops. Easy drinking and pretty tasty.

Draft at a small restaurant in the middle of nowhere, Colorado. Poured a clear golden color, with a small white head. Aroma was nice, light citrus notes. Floral hop character. Flavor had pine, citrus. Pretty tasty.
