Commercial Description:
We offer an beer for the times, brewed with recycled and subsidized materials. This low alcohol pale ale incorporated the second runnings of our forthcoming West Coast IPA along with Hops hand picked in Wayne by Brewmaster C. Leonard. Dry-hopped and poured through a hop infuser, it has a wonderful citrusy, fruity nose and an easy finish.

Pours a lightly hazy golden orange with a very small off white head. Aroma of citrusy hops, light toasted malt and caramel. Flavor was hoppy, orange, lightly toasted notes, fruity and while it’s a little thin it still produces a lot of flavor.

[Draft at GLI] Poured a hazy amber color with a small, white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of tropical fruits, citrus, oranges, some toast, and amarillo hops. Taste of tangerine, apricot, citrus fruits, lots of orange, and some toffee, with a bitter finish.

On draft at the Inn. Poured hazy orange. Expectedly thin. Slightly sweet body with a more pronounced citrus finish. Obviously weak, like drinking a water with a beer finish. Still, a respectable brew. However I must say, the carbonation issues at the Inn seem to be mildly improved.

Tap at the Tiedhouse. Man, who woulda thunk I’d have two different milds in one day! Pale, unfiltered pour, small but persistent head. Lightly bready with a decent amount of hopping, mostly british, but with a touch of citrus. Biscuity aroma, mild, a little dull. Some rose water flavors, orange pith.

Another nice low ABV brew from GLI. Aroma has a nice citrus-hop mix with gentle British and bready malts. Flavor is subdued, but tasty with hops a plenty and a nice breadiness. Good brew.

Tap at the Tiedhouse. Pale golden beer with lots of yeasty haze. Aroma is surprisingly malty with a fairly fresh biscuity/bready character. Soft fruity hoppiness with a kiss of estery fruit as well. It’s sort of like some of the bitter’s I’ve had in the UK that are hopped with US hops… a combination that works quite well most times I’ve had them. A nice drinkable low-gravity brew.
