The distinctive hop character of our 5 Barrel Pale Ale is due to the extraction of essential oils from select hops. We treat 5 Barrel Pale Ale to an infusion of fresh whole hop flowers in the Hop Back and the Fermentor, as well as four hop additions during the kettle boil. We like how this gives the beer a fresh, lively flavor and aroma.

A little taste of England, from Colorado. Dark golden in color with short creamy head. Aroma of hops, malt, taste is more of the same with some citrus tanginess. Nice ale.

Had on tap. Orangey golden clear pour with a white head that settles into a ring quickly. Floral and grassy notes float along the grains, citrus zest, and dry english like yeast. Taste is simpler as the botanicals outside of flowers are cut out, yeast and citrus are the other key flavors. Feel is hoppy yet sneaky yeasty, medium-light body and thinner for style.

LOOK: Pours a bright gold with a full 2 finger all white head that has excellent retention and plenty of side glass lace. Great looking pour!
AROMA: Very malty with bread and biscuit malts. Decent balance with floral hops also present.
TASTE: Balanced with some piny hops and the bread, biscuit malts.
Mildly bitter.
Overall a solid pale ale with great balance.

Pours a light amber with a two finger head that hangs out for a few minutes. Nice aroma of malty goodness I'd expect from the style, toffee and maybe almonds with a touch of grassy hop. Taste follows the nose pretty closely with maybe a but more of that American hop presence than I'd like in this style. The mouth feel is very nice, full and creamy. The kind of feel that just makes you want to relax and reach for another bottle when it's gone. That sessionability, for lack of a better word coming to mind is key for this style. Overall very enjoyable though maybe not the first one I'd reach for if I was in the EPA mood.
