This easy drinking, hoppy and complex pale ale is brewed and dry-hopped with U.S. grown Amarillo hops and fermented with authentic Belgian ale yeast. Little John would have been happy to take a growler 'On The Road'. Happy birthday Jack Kerouac! (3/12)

A - Light, golden color beer with a creamy head.

S - Amarillo hops with some belgian yeast. I'd prefer straight amarillo, but this is pleasant at least.

T - Interesting beer type, an APA with some belgian yeast. It's not bad, has some good fruit notes with the yeast, and the presence of the hops as well. I don't like going "belgian" on everything, think this APA might stand better on its own.

M - Smooth, moderate carbonation, little more body than expected.

O - I'd rather just have a straight APA without the belgian touch, but it's an above average beer.

This is a dry hopped Belgian American pale... On-tap at the pub, served in a taster... A light honey gold, a decent off-white head.. The aroma is very lemony with a bit of yeast and hops. This reminds me of the Dynamite & Roses, same yeast, just more muted... The taste has the yeast with lots of fruit notes of oranges and peach, then a smooth hoppy finish. Easy to drink, worth trying.
