Hop Seeker

Today’s sample is a delightfully intense hop-forward American Pale Ale, one that easily satisfies with its earthy and floral, yet rustic, flavor and aroma. It lacks some of the characteristic bitterness typical of the style, but is still a fun pour nonetheless.

It poured forth a hazy, dark orange color, lifting a lovely off-white head towards the top of the glass. Its hazy demeanor left me in anticipation of an eagerly-awaited dry-hopped product. Upon tasting, I wasn't disappointed. The beer reveals an explosive amount of hop flavor, supported by a sweet crackery malt backbone. The beer finished quite light in body with a quick and smooth finish. 

Overall, this offering seems like a nice drinker, especially for those who appreciate an American Pale Ale that delivers a more subtle hop bitterness while still providing a terrific hop-focused flavor blast.
