A German style pale ale debatably does not exist in the craft beer industry. Until now. 3 Nations’ German Pale Ale (GPA) is our experiment turned calling card. We couldn’t be more proud of the way this beer’s enormous citrus, passion fruit, and lemony like aromas blend with a bitterness that gives it a recognizable finish. Plus, the well-rounded malt profile balances out the American hops. That’s right, we used American hops to brew this cross of a German Alt/Koelsch. It’s not blasphemy. Just a revised version of a traditional style, with a little greatness mixed in.

Poured from a can into a tulip glass.
Nice amber color with a good foamy white head and lacing. Citrus smell and taste. A little buttery and fruity. Pretty good beer.

Received on draft. Amber and orange clear color. Minimal head and patchy lacing. Smell of bread and citrus. Taste is malty and citrusy with bitter finish. Really a nice beer.

Poured from a 12 OZ can into a pint glass. The appearance is a light Amber color with a large white head. The aroma is a ton of citrus. The taste is citrus with a hop finish.
