"American pale ale that used American yeast and both Chinook and Simcoe hops. Chinook will give it a slightly piney aroma, while Simcoe hops also have some pine to them but tend to give things a slightly grapefruit-y flavor. We used a bit of rye to give it some spice, and two different types of caramel malts, to give it some body as well as hopefully making it a light-whiskey amber-ish hue. Finally, we dry-hopped it the other day, so hopefully it'll go down like a good, clean session ale, and not a hoppy American-style IPA."

Brewed exclusively for Big Star's one year anniversary, this beer was described to me as a "hoppy session ale," which is a pretty accurate description.
A: Amber gold with a smallish off white head. Very clear.
S: Quite aromatic scent of citrusy hops, predominantly grapefruit, with some pine in the mix as well.
T: Light pale malt base allows for a blend of citrus and pine hops to show through. There is a bit of rye pepper spice on the finish. Supposedly this beer was aged in whisky barrels, but I am not picking up any of it.
M: On the lighter side, with active carbonation, though it should be noted this beer was specifically brewed to accompany Mexican food, so the light body and high carbonation are a good match in that sense.
D: Overall, a good beer. Light malt profile with heavy hops, makes for a very easy drinking session beer.
