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.

Bottle looks simple, but really not boring. Beer in the glass zippy, small head. Hoppy-fresh aroma. Starts mild, fine spicy with a sweet touch. Finish more and more flowery-hoppy, reminds me of an IPA, modest sourish, fine grasy. Aftertaste not too dry, again with some sweet hints. A great beer! Thanks to my wife for bringing it back from the states!

Amber/orange in appearance. Honey, sultana and malt on the nose. The taste is honey and malt with a nettley finish. Maybe should be room temperature. Big structure, fairly creamy texture and zingy. Rich but balanced.

12 bottle from Whole Foods in Tucson
Appearance: Clear golden with a nice sized white head and some lacing
Aroma:Citrus, woody and earthy
Taste: Caramel, citrus and woody
Decent. It sounds like a good idea, but not all good ideas are a good choice.

[355ml bottle from Utobeer, Borough Market] Pale amber with a thin white head. Moderate fizz. Fresh-tasting,surprisingly little bitterness, mainly caramel with some lemon and pine and earthy malt, easy drinking but less flavoursome than I expected.
