Golden Slumbers Pale Ale
Strange Brewing

Cloudy and golden color with a tight somewhat frothy white head. Nose does not give off any real discernible smells. Taste as a slight pine. Barely decent bitterness across the palate.

 

On tap at Popeye in Tokyo, Japan. Popeye brews this beer themselves under the label Strange Brewing; this one happened to be Galaxy dry hopped but it is unclear if this is normally on tap or a special tapping. Pours a lighter yellow-copper hued body, one finger white head with fair retention, not much lacing. Smells of a bit of spice, tropical fruit, citrus, a bit of pine, grainy caramel malt. Smells like Galaxy indeed! Flavour is similar; citrus, tropical fruit, resinous pine on the end, balanced by a slightly grainy caramel malt backbone. It's a nice expression of Galaxy hops. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, smooth and well carbonated, easy to drink, and very enjoyable. Not particularly bitter. I found this one to be a tasty APA in the American tradition- aromatic hops with just enough balance to keep it interesting and very drinkable. I would call this one a go-to if I lived in the area.
