Wet Hop Pale Ale
Tombstone Brewing Company

Picked up a single from the Craft Beer Hop Stop 10-10-18 for $4.25. Canned 10-7-18; received at Hop Stop 10-8-18; reviewed 10-15-18.

Beer poured a hazy golden orange with a nice white head that is leaving lacing behind.

Nose fresh squeezed orange juice, very nice.

Taste is fresh oranges and grapefruit forward over a small malt base with a nice moderately bitter rind finish.

Mouthfeel is awesome, light bodied and extremely refreshing.

Overall one of the best APA's i have ever had!

 

A: Hazy yellow gold with rich foamy head and great lacing.
N: Hops, citrus, malt, resin, and honey.
T: Follows the nose, very fresh hops notes with some soft malt, little honey, and a resin finish.
M: Medium
O: One of the best beers I have had, period. This is just amazing.

 

 

Pours a hazy amber with a white head. Smells of caramel, hops, and light malt. Tastes of fresh bitter hops, sweet caramel, malt, and citrus. Medium creamy body and medium carbonation. Overall a very delicious wet hopped IPA.

All Chinook wet hop pale ale. Fairly opaque, deep burnt orange body, thin and quickly dissipating head. Subdued nose, though not unpleasant, light sweetness and fruit, which carry over to the palate. Maybe a bit of apricot and spice. Near non-existent bitterness. Super heavy and filling body for a pale ale, to the point of being a bit of a detriment. I get that these approaches to hoppy beer eschew bitterness, but in this case, combined with the heavy body, they get awfully one-dimensional. Pleasantly one-dimensional, to be sure, but there's just something a touch wanting.
