This beer starts out with a huge citrusy hop aroma that follows through into the flavor and has lingering bitterness. There are pleasant hints of Belgian phenolics throughout. This beer has a lovely copper color, a huge off-white head that was extremely long-lasting and left tons of lacing on the glass. This beer is a definite crossover between an American Pale Ale and a Belgian Pale Ale with the result being the best of both worlds.

A Little Crazy
Description
Pilsner malt base provides a nice toasty flavor with hints of caramel and enough fermentable sugar to make this a rather substantial beer. Pilsner malt is the base with a little carapils and Belgian Caramunich. Hops in brewhouse are Magnum, Cascade and Citra with a dryhop blend of Citra and Cascade. This drives home the aromas of fresh citrus rind to make this a very drinkable and extremely aromatic Belgian American Pale Ale.
Story behind A Little Crazy:
Ever wonder how A Little Crazy got its name? It was originally called a "small beer", as it was brewed from the second running of mash used from our original Institutionalized Barleywine brew. Hence the name, "A Little Crazy", ie. "small beer" from Institutionalized.
