Southerleigh Fine Food & Brewery "Scurvy Free Since '83"
On tap at the brewery, 2 November 2015
First of all, I'm not sure that I'd call this an American Pale Ale, but I'm not sure I'd call it a sour beer either. I'll admit that I'm not sure what it is. ...
Appearance: Somewhat hazy deep gold body beneath a short head of creamy white. Both the head retention and the lacing are quite good.
Aroma: Citrusy with lemon, and a touch grassy, over a light base of delicately sweet and grainy malt.
Flavor: As the aroma suggests, it's quite citrusy with lime and lemon, which probably explains the name. The hop flavor is full-throttle but the malt is equally rich, and although the hops leap ahead they never get far enough to become out of balance; and not surprisingly the bitterness is equally balanced. It's citrusy and slightly tart upfront, followed by rising malt, and then bitterness that leads into a very dry, long-lingering finish. It's really quite curious, not particularly following the standard citrusy pale ale formula, and I have to wonder if there's some actual souring going on.
Mouthfeel: Decidedly medium in body, and crisp with a fine-bubbled standard carbonation and soft acidity.
Overall: Quite unique, and at the same time completely accessible for those that appreciate hoppy beers. Chase this one down before it's gone!
