COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
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.

stefannilssons (789) - SWEDEN - FEB 27, 2013
Det här kunde varit en bra öl men kolsyran fullständigt dödar smaken och upplevelsen. Smaken är fruktigt och den avslutar med en rejäl och burdus beska.

From bottle. Golden amber. Fresh floral hop aroma. Citrus and pine taste, not too bitter. Quite lively palate. A nice hoppy beer.

garthicus (2336) - Dublin, IRELAND - FEB 25, 2013
Bottle. Appearance: Vibrant orange, good thick white head. Aroma: malty at first making way for a decent hoppy mango aroma, strawberry, blueberry, sweet. Smells great. Flavour: Sharp bitterness, good tart mango, sweet with an underlying pine hoppiness, long bitter finish, a nicely balanced beer.

Mortlach (710) - Rome, ITALY - FEB 23, 2013
18/0272013 Brasserie 4:20 (tap). Ambrata, viva, limpidissima, schiuma bianca morbida abbastanza abbondante e persistente. Al naso sentori di malto, caramello, lieviti, pane, leggero floreale e terroso. In bocca è morbida, maltata, dolciastra, moderatamente amara nel finale, di grande equilibrio e straordinaria facilità di beva. Corpo medio, carbonazione corretta. Session beer da bere a litri!

IlBevitorediLA (451) - ITALY - FEB 19, 2013
Ambrata limpida con schiuma fine mediamente persistente. Aroma floreale di luppoli con leggeri sentori legnosi. Al palato ingresso morbido dolce con un ritorno all’aroma di luppoli floreali e freschi che perdurano nel retrogusto quando ancora fresca si sente un leggero gusto di pane che via via scompare quando si riscalda. Beverina e molto rinfrescante.

Medium body. Medium head. Fairly bitter but well balanced. This is closer to an ipa than a pale ale. Citrus.

burgy (355) - Minnetonka, Minnesota, USA - FEB 13, 2013
This was a well balanced pale ale. Mild hop aroma and flavor that is almost over powered by the malt.
