Commercial Description:
We Consider this an extreme version of an American Pale Ale. It has a very up front floral and citrus aroma from a late cascade addition and dry hopping with Amarillo. This beer also has a big malt background to balance the bitterness of the hops. The rye malt cleans up your palette after you swallow so the hop flavor does not stick in your mouth too long.
Now available in bottles.

Flaske. Fin lysravfarvet øl, med et lille skumhoved. Humlet duft, og også en fin smag. Igen er karboneringen ikke helt i orden og den virker gammel. Er overbevist om at øllen er langt bedre frisk, og derfor får den et par point ekstra.

12 oz bottle: poured light ornge witha thick creamy cream colored head. Light rye and citrusy hop aroma. Moderate hop flavor with some rye notes along with a bit of citrus and some pineapple. Slight metallic finish and somewhat dry. Good though.

Might be pretty ordinary for an APA despite boasting an interesting name but I enjoyed this a lot on a hot summer day. The rye is pretty much nonexistant for me but I like the chewy mouthfeel, the grapefruity hops and the refreshing feeling I got from this. Quite a suprise for a randomly chosen beer that I got from one nice lady as a sort of a souvenir.

Bottled: Could not believe I hadnt rated this one, this beer is classic. Pours a amber color with white lacing. Smells of rye and malt that is faint. The taste though is a smooth mouthfull of one the best pale ales!

Bottle. Maybe rye just isn’t for me but this is a very bitter beer. Honestly, the beer tasted like it came from a bad batch. Hopefully it did and doesn’t always taste like this.

Bottle. Amber pour with a thin, near-white head with good lacing. Clean, crisp, citrusy hops. Classic, crisp pale ale flavor. Extremely well-balanced with just enough bitterness. I wish the hops would linger a bit longer, but this is just a minor flaw. This is the first non-rice water beer I ever had in college and it continues to be one of my favorite go-to drinkin’ beers.

This beer pours an amber color typical of Pale Ales. It has a piney/ citrusy aroma with some bitter malt smells as well. Flavor is malty with heavy pine. It finishes bitter, but balanced. A good pale.
