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.

On tap from the Sherraton Hotel, Steamboat Springs, Co. Orange Amber with a white head and nice lacing. The aroma is hoppy, malty, not well defined, a bit caramelish. The taste is medium sweet, bitter finish. Pretty boring.

Tap at the Pure Bar and Kitchen, Birmingham. Poured a clear medium amber with a thin white head. The aroma is citrus nettle hop. The flavour is medium bitter witn a zesty citrus, woody, resin, hop bitter palate. Moderate to light bodied with average carbonation. A super session ale!

Draft - Nitro - Piney, grapefruit with an earthy finish. Clear gold with a great white head. Light earthy hops and an almost light sourness with the bitterness. If only tastes as good as it looked.

Bottle from StarmoreBoss, Sheffield. Lightly hazy, amber colour. Filmy, off white head. Privet leaf, wet hop, type aroma. Some light savouriness, too. Hint of caramel. Hint of bubblegum. Taste is grassy dry. Fruity sweetness underlies. Short, dry finish. Light sweetness right at the end.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance has a slightly hazy orange brown body with a one finger white foamy head that dies within thirty seconds. There is a slight amount of carbonation is seen rising.
The smell has some light caramel, malts and bitter hops.
The taste is slightly sweet, caramel aftertaste, dry finish.
The palate is light and sessionable. Carbonation seems a bit higher than most English Pale Ales, but not overwhelming.
Overall, this is a pretty good EPA that I would probably have again.

12 floz bottle from Beermoth, Manchester. Wondrously hoppy aroma, pours deep gold with bucketloads of finely tuned hops with a slight resinous quality and low-lying bitter finish. Tastes like an IPA.
