Collaboration with Marlowe Artisanal Ales
London System is based on a rock solid opening in chess for the white pieces. Zac Ross, owner and brewer of Marlowe Ales, loves to play chess as much as I do. It only made sense to collab on a beer that expresses the passion we have for both beer and chess. We thought we should do an APA, a solid style that is both delightfully refreshing and a bit underrated. We used English malts, concocted a pillowy, soft mash profile, and stocked it to the brim with 100% Galaxy hops. This one is a crusher under that hot summer sun.

A: The beer is very hazy to cloudy and a bit pale yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left a thin head covering the surface and lots of lacing the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of passion fruit and peach are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of orange citrus and passion fruit with hints of peach. Little to no bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer has the amount of aromas and flavors you would expect from an IPA while having the drinkability of an APA.
Serving type: can

A collaboration with Marlowe.
Had this at 12 Percent Brewing Project.
Very hazy, light milky orange look. Tangelo peel and some fruitiness, along with a spiced medium toast malt aroma. Citrus peel tone to the flavor, with ample, medium lightly toasted malt, in support, with a tangerine note, rather than regular pale ale flavor style.
