A single-hopped, single-batch, summer quencher brewed exclusively for BIKEFEST!, Bike Pittsburgh’s 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: Pours a nice hazy dark golden color with a nice thick white foam head with nice retention. There is a small amount of lacing left.

S: Some floral and citrus hops are the main scent. There are some mild biscuit and toasted bread malt as well.

T: Starts off with ample amount of citrus hops character. Lots of orange and lemon flavors. In the middle, the lemon and citrus hops is balanced out with some caramel, biscuit and toast malts. The beer finishes with more citrus hop bitterness.

M: Fairly dry with a nice light body. Leave a nice hop bitterness on the palate.

O: One of the better APA's I have ever had. Lots of dry citrus hops, very aggressive, but with a nice malt backbone that gives it some balance.

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.
