Ale Asylum Hopalicious

Brewed by Ale Asylum
Style: American Pale Ale
Madison, Wisconsin USA

12oz bottle courtesy of xmarcnolanx. Pours a hazy honey amber with a half finger of white head and decent lacing. Nose is light citrus hops for the most part with some caramel. Taste is caramel malt upfront, mild grapefruit and some pine in the finish that lingers for a bit. Medium mouth feel. Not bad – thanks Marc.

Pours bright copper with a large frothy white head. The aroma has lots of delicious grapefruit, pine, floral and light tropical hops and some caramel malt int the background. Medium crisp body with some grainy feel and micro sharp carbonation. The flavor starts a bit thinner than expected with heavy hops on the spicy / piny side and very light malt. The finish is earthy and lightly peppery. Good IPA

It’s been a while since I’ve tasted a beer so dank, and this a dank beer! It is so strongly hopped that after a few sips I felt as if I had somehow been transported into a land far away where the hopvines flow like milk and honey, and all the hopheads run freely picking fresh hops off the vines to add to their own homebrewed beers- adding as much as they want, to satisfy their hop fetish. It’s also not very often I rate a beer this high. But its overpowering floral and citrus hop flavors were incredible. A definite treat if you crave the bitters!

A cloudy orange pour with a brief off white head. Tart citrus hop aroma. A classic APA flavor profile with lots of hop and a caramel malt in the background. Grapefruit and pine hop flavors. Perhaps some dry hopping effects. More bitter than most.

Courtesy fantomas23. pours a glowing orange color with a medium, foamy white head that leaves nice lacing behind. The aroma is of citrus hops with a touch of pine resin and also some toffee malt background. The follows the same with the big citrus hop presence that is balanced out by the toffee flavored malts. Medium bodied and good carbonation that leads to a bitter finish. A very nicely done pale ale, and one I could drink often for sure.

Pours a very cloudy, glowing, tangerine gold color. A large, frothy white head shows good retention and leaves sticky vertical flares of lacing behind. The aroma gives off big citrus hop notes, primarily orange and grapefruit, as well as some hints of pine. The malt background shows sugar glazed cereal grain and toffee notes. Flavors follow suit, as the sharp citrus hops are countered by lightly sweet, grainy malts and buttery toffee. Medium-plus bodied, with moderate, fine carbonation. A slight astringency comes through on the dry, bitter finish. Overall, this is very good for an APA, bordering on outright IPA status.

Pour is hazed golden yellow with a thin off white head...smell is lightly toasty at first with a nice solid pine and strong grapefruit hoppiness...taste is lightly sweet and biscuity at first with an underlying sweetness moving into a light grapefruit hoppiness...good...

Poured a light orange color with a big white head. Aroma is of a nice blend of hops, but not in your face, has some malt behind it. Flavor is fairly hopped up for a pale ale, but still well balanced by lots of malts. Pretty good.
