Commercial Description:
In late summer, the grassy banks of the Madison River are jumping with grasshoppers. At Madison River Brewing Company we are always jumping at the chance to make another batch of Hopper Pale Ale. Four different barley malts lend a rich amber color and create a backdrop to showcase the distinctive citrus-like flavor and floral aroma of hops harvested in the Pacific Northwest. Get Hooked on Hopper Pale Ale!

Bottle thanks to kyzr: Pours a transparent orange bronze with a thin-lacing white head. Aroma of fresh piny hops and some mild pale maltiness. Body starts with decent fullness and light malty sweetness with a crisp bittersweet hoppy balance toward a crisp finish. A pretty decent APA.

NABA ’05: Nose of light hops and moderate amounts of malts. Finishes crispy. I found this mild, nicely hopped and rather pleasing after some of the other entrants today.

Bronze to copper color. Big fluffy off-white head. Cortland apple aromas. I’m trying to catch more but that’s the dominate scent in my nose and I can not seem to shake it. Perhaps some caramel and orange blossom. I’ll have to say, it’s a good thing I like cortland apples. Light caramel sweetness along with a little bit of tart apple (yes, back to the apple thing). A bit of DMS and grain. Some grapefruit hops kick in later. Not sure of the date on this one, but new to the area, soo..? Not my type of pale. English/American/sourdough?
