Favoring hop flavor over that of bitterness, West Sixth brewers carefully select newer and sexier hop varieties to capture the taste, aroma and dryness of tropical vacations, transporting the senses you your own version of paradise.
Its bright and juicy nose blooms with vibrant tropical scents. Apricot, cantaloup, pineapple, mango and passion fruit mingle nicely with citrusy grapefruit, blood orange and lemon verbena for a captivating and alluring scent.
Its medium-dry body supports the tropical, orchard and citrus medley with thin caramels and slight honey, all seeming to give the hoppy, fruit-forward flavors an intriguing fructose sweetness and tanginess. It bitter balance leaves the ale even-keel while soft biscuit and marmalade esters keep the hop bite in check.
Its fast-fleeting finish is malty-dry with a soft resiny bitterness, again seeming more of herb, spruce and verbena than of pine sap or astringent grass. Effortless on the palate, the ale dissolves on the throat with waves of fruity cream sickle returning in aftertaste.
Where the interest in proper American pale ale are waning, the style certainy carries on thanks to nouveau lupulin varieties and brewers with the courage to use them. If that tropical vacation isn't in your future plans, relax- West Sixth has your Paradise Waitin'!
