A single-hopped, single-batch, summer quencher brewed exclusively for BIKEFEST!, Bike Pittsburghs week-plus celebration of all things bicycling. Keep an eye on www.Bike-Pgh.org for more info about the summer brewery ride and more about FreeRide! the guys who made those cool tap handles out of salvaged bike parts. Available in July and August, or as long as it lasts (maybe a little earlier and later next year?)

A-Body is a very cloudy (almost opaque) golden yellow with uniform cloudiness. Head is foamy and thin but it retains well and some lacing is left behind in the glass.
S-Nose is light and crisp. A mild spiciness (similar to cinnamon), and floral hops are most dominant.
T- Initial flavor is mild with a floral hop flavor up front and a sweet pale malt and earthy yeast backbone. A big floral hop bitterness kicks in for the finish along with a big spiciness. A mild residual bitterness lingers along with the initial flavors.
M-High carbonation and light body.
D- I know this doesn't really have any special ingredients but it tastes very different and great. It's a classic APA rather than a hoppier amber APA. Throughout the summer it has become one of my favorite APAs.

16 fl oz pull-tab can nabbed at the brewery for me by my friend Zed - thanks, bruv!
Dull hop profile. Obvious minerality. Shallow. Simple.

2nd can 11/14/20:
A forgettable pale ale. Sierra Nevada's expression of the style has more hop pungency and depth of flavour, plus it's cheaper.

"An American Pale Ale, crisp and hoppy with light malt sweetness, fruity esters, and very mild bitterness (in spite of being hopped four times)."

Classic gold color, not much of a head. Aroma is light cracker malt, very light floral hops. Taste is fine, pretty standard but nothing is off - just don’t pop. Mild malt biscuit, grassy hop, moderate bitterness on the finish. Run of the mill but fine on a summer day.

Pours gold. Foamy, white, short head that fades fast.
Smells citrus, malt, grassy, floral.
Tastes citrus, lemon, light pale malt and floral hints. Followed by citrus peel and light grassy hints. Medium light body and fizzy medium carbonation.
