Commercial Description:
The sixth OTOP beer is code named PEGALINA. Many of you who know me or have tried Heavyweight beers know that I love malt and malty beers. But I also enjoy drinking hoppy beers. I love Hopdevil (who doesn't) and DeRanke XX. I've not made one up till now because there are just so many of them out there. Well, this one's for someone near and dear who loves hoppy brews. Pegalina is made with German malts and British hops. It is fermented with a very boring American ale yeast (just kidding, thanks Gretchen). The beer possesses 50 or so IBUs.

Draft at Blind Tiger. Great IPA. Well-balanced and fruity. Spicey aroma. Complex refreshing body and a nice average long hoppy finish. A good IPA.

Not your typical American micro I.P.A. My nose was greeted by the scent of wet hops from this golden ale. Peglina’s German, British and American ingredients blend well together. This beer reminds me of a super hoppy Octoberfest beer.

Andy’s on tap. Cloudy orangish with a white head. Malty/hoppy aroma. Noble hops. Big flavor profile of hops and a decent malt sweetness. A touch of alcohol noted. Dangerously drinkable and well balanced.

Draft at Monks... This was a very interesting, IPA? Whoa... Poured a dark reddish caramel color, medium sized off white head, and nice lacing. Aroma of yeast, light citrus, and tropical fruits. Interesting flavors going on in the taste. It tasted somewhat sweet, citrus (orange peel), some pepper, a little alcohol, and finally finishing a little roasty. Light carbonation. This tasted very Belgian to me, hops were not all that pronounced.

(draft) Clear mahogany body with beige head. Aroma is mild sweet, peppery, caramel, some earthy. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, port, earthy, pepper. Low carbonated, medium body, sticky. Not like any pale ale that I have ever had.

Draught at Spuyten. Deer clear orange hue with a small off-white head. Interesting aroma with some nutty part I can’t put my finger on. Supposedly this is made with rye? It blended pretty well (hop rod rye anyone?) although very accessible. Hops are orangey and earthy which gives an english feel. Mouthfeel is smooth, rather mouth-filling and displaying lower than average effervescence. Nice malt bill (rye, cereals, caramel), Spicy peppery and orangey finish. I like it!

Draft. Pours dark straw with medium head. Aroma of malt, fruit, hops. Tastes malty, with hops, slight fruit, and slight corn chips. Medium palate with a malt/hop/fruit/limey corn chip finish that was slightly dry. Unique.
