Had a good beer friend go back home to FL for a mini-vacation. Kid is crazy enough and generous enough to bring back a few things for some people in my little tasting group. This was one of them.
Intuituon Aleworks - People's Pale Ale
a 5.5% ABV 29 IBU Pale Ale - their flagship beer. A clear copper orange pour, huge fluffy orange-hued head. There's a ton of grainy hay malt notes, touches of sweet honey and caramel.. dry grassy hops and a bit of orange peel in the nose. Clean and light, the large amounts of hay honey malts are bright and subtle.. a nice balance. The body follows suit, this is a very solid Pale. There's the right balance between body, sweet malts, crisp dryness and a faint hop profile. This just fits. Toffee/caramel melds well with grassy hops, touches of citrus and pine throughout. A really nice Pale that would be a great day-to-day crushable brew.
- - 7 hops!
Oh.. and he hooked me up with a Jai Alai IPA that coincidentally was canned ON my birthday. May not be fresh by most people's standards.. but the freshest Jai Alai I've ever had
