Empyrean Lazlos Limited Pale Ale

On tap at the brewpub. Rich gold with a white head. Faint malty fruity aroma. Good lacing. Tingly palate. Honey sweetness. Hop bitterness is mild and subdued. Has a kind finish.

A solid pale in the Lazlo’s ilk...bread and biscuit...toast...earthy hop character with a good dash of citrus as well...decent body on the lighter side, with a bitter finish. I’m really glad this isn’t a cascade hop bomb! A very balanced pale ale, which helps make it a joy to drink.

Draft at the brewery’s Lazlo’s restaurant 7/23/05. True amber with a sticky head. Nice floral hop aroma. Sharp grassy hop character, very citric at first but deepening into earthier tones. I’d call this a cross between the English and American styles, but it is exceptionally well done.
