Great Ketch 2.0
Grey Sail Brewing of Rhode Island

Bright, dry and refreshing, Gray Sail brewers look to do the impossible- take the refreshment of cold IPA and give it bolder flavor.

Pale Gold and settling with a moderate hoppy glow, Great Ketch 2.0 casts a stark white and foamy cap with a sharp scent of citrus peel, grasses and herbs with a peppery twinge upon the nose. As its scant sweetness skirts across the tongue, a dry cracker-like sweetness leaves brief impressions of toast, nuttiness and honey before dissolving into the hops. Immediately bitter with citrus peel, spruce tip, fresh grass clippings, lemon pepper and dry hemp emerge as a quick and dry hop bite carries into an arid finish.

Medium-light, crisp and refreshing, the ale highlights the sharper tannic properties of hops as most ultra dry ales mostly do. Sacrificing balance and flavor for refreshment isn't always a bad thing.

Slightly cloudy, straw yellow in color with super white head. Superb lacing left over. Nose is somewhat malty. Taste is pine. The bitterness is where this beer shines. Bitterness across entire palate that keeps on giving.
