MN Pale Ale (APA) w/ citrus

Indeed Day Tripper at 5.4.

 

That's like a White Buffalo!

Day Tripper is the last, local APA I enjoyed and which matches that general description, but it's over 5%.

Did Bent Paddle cut Daypack from their range? It was pretty darn good, and I preferred it to their I.P.A.

 

If across the river in ND is close enough, there is Fargo Brewing's Iron Horse APA which is at 4.8%

 

I thought that Daypack was just a summer seasonal. I hope it comes back, as I enjoyed it as well.

 

I did a quick search of the other site, and I limited it to bottled and canned offerings for your boating needs. If you're willing to go with a growler, that opens up more possibilities (notably Bang Neat at 4.9%).

The only one I could find that fit your criteria is Burning Brothers Pyro at 4.9%. The pro is that it's canned. The con is that it's terrible (it's gluten-free).

At exactly 5% is Fulton's The Ringer, which is bottled, but I believe it's a fall seasonal.

612Brew's Six at 5.1% and in cans may be your best bet overall. Third Street Three Way is 5.2% and bottled. There's also Lake Superior Special Ale, which is bottled, but Lake Superior doesn't publish ABV; my guess is it's right around 5% but probably not under.

A tasty option if for some reason Wisconsin counts as close enough would be New Glarus' Moon Man at 5% exactly (bottled).

 

Those cans make it to the Twin Cities area (and more!), now. Still need to try it.

 

Not an APA but @5.4% is Bauhaus Wagonparty nice citrus notes highly drinkable

 

Day Pack is a seasonal from Bent Paddle. Not sure what season though. The Ringer from Fulton should serve your needs, I think it's 5% abv? Town Hall's West Bank Pale Ale is sub 5% abv and delicious. Don't forget the ultimate Mn session pale ale, Bitter Brewer from Surly.

 

Not retired, just a seasonal

 

Fitger's Brewhouse makes a sessionable Pale Ale, Minnesota Nice. 4.6% abv. It is a single hop session pale ale. The batch currently on tap and in growlers is Jarrylo. Here is the link to the info on the beer:

Do you mean Sky Five? Wagon Party is not an APA. I love Sky Five!

 

Say it ain't so. That was one of my favorites last year. So good.

 

Re read my post i said it is not an APA. but has nice citrus notes that the op was looking for

 

Whaaaa? Chaz likes something hoppy?



Day Tripper is pretty good though.

 

And I had it at Sporty's*, no less!

*In 2012.

 

Fulton The Ringer is an APA just over 5%
