This is a new 7.4% American Pale Ale that they have just tapped, and it’s the first beer I can remember having here that has a name. It’s definitely one of the biggest beers they have ever served. Smooth and caramelly up front, with a slightly bitter finish that holds up through the first several sips. There’s a vaguely fruity flavor that might be cherries or almonds, and the overall flavor might be what is so often bandied about as “dank.” The bitter finish softens a bit as the beer warms, but the fruit stays just out of arm’s length. With 12 other hands in the mix, though, no way to know how much of this is Ryan; but it’s one of the best beers I’ve ever had here, though not my favorite.
