NOTE: This is CCB's Tony Jannus Pale Ale dry-hopped with Galaxy hops.

Reviewed from notes. Had on-tap at CCB tasting room. Poured into a pint glass.

A: Pours a hazy, muddy golden color with a one-finger white head and low visible carbonation.

S: Pine, grass and spice hops over some cracker malt. A bit of citrus fruitiness.

T: Follows the nose, but with significantly more citrus than the aroma would imply. There is a grainy flavor near the end with an almost woody bitterness. Dry hop bitterness at the swallow.

M: Medium to light body, good carbonation sensation. Alcohol is subdued but more noticeable than expected at this ABV.

O: This is a good beer, perhaps a bit of an improvement over the base beer. Nothing I'd particularly seek out again, but I wouldn't refuse another. Have one if you find yourself in the tasting room in the mood for an APA.

Serving type: on-tap
