Hurricane Reef Pale Ale

An orange beer with a dense light orange head. The aroma is sweet hoppy, and the hops also gives it notes of citrus and oranges. The flavor is sweet, yet somewhat acidic, with a hoppy note lingering in the background. The end is dry and bitter with quite a lot of grapefruit.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear, amber golden with a yellowish head. Fresh, citrusy nose with some caramel. Medium-bodied with some caramel and a lightly fusty edge. 150506

Pours a transparent dark golden bronze with a thin ring of white head. Aroma of lightly sweet pale malt and some piny resiny fresh hops. Body starts with some mild caramel sweetness and decent bittering and flavor hop presence toward a slightly grapefruity finish. A decent APA.

12oz bottle. Poured a deep golden color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of skunky week, caramel, floral, and a little earthy. Tastes of caramel and citrus. Had a lighter tart finish that was out of place.
