Kettle House Hopnosis American Pale Ale

Brewed by Kettle House Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Missoula, Montana USA

Growler from Jake: Clear amber, nice head and lacing. Nose of dry pine and grapefruit, nice light malt, hop forward. Flavor is balanced, nice dry finish and plenty of hops in the tail. Dry and hoppy with a dry-hopped taste. Nice pale, almost IPAish.

At brewpub: Hazy copper color with a nice fluffy beige head. Lots of sticky lacing. Aroma is floral and sweet, hoppy and inviting. Full of floral bitters with a light citrus component. Malty enough, but retains a solid floral tail. Nice.

Brought back from Toby’s great Montana Growler round up. Pours out a hazy gold topped with a white head. Aroma was nice a little light hop some fresh sweet grass. Taste was more of the sweet grass and plenty grain on the end.

Growler - Thanks Toby! - Pour was lt orange with a medium white head...aroma is floral hops and grapefruit, with lightly sweet malt...flavour is similar, immediate bitterness up front, giving way to a grassy and grainy finish...bitterness is lingering, and the malt was definitely more prevalent in the nose than in taste, only having a slight presence in the body...decent...
