Commercial Description:
Care for some hops with your hops? Before we ferment our 5 Barrel Pale Ale, we strain it through a bed of 'em. Then while it ages, we add even more. We like how this gives the beer a fresh, lively finish. We like hops.

As we go about refining the recipe for each new beer, we brew up just five barrels at a time. That's exactly how we arrived at this pale ale -- so that's what we named it. Plus, it sounded a lot nicer than Giant Vat Pale Ale.

Bottle pours clear amber with an insignificant, thin white head. The nose is well balanced, showing notes of toasted malt, caramel, floral hops, and a tiny bit of soap. The initial flavor starts off sweet, followed by a body of citrus and caramel, with a dry, slightly bitter finish.

Bottle. Moderate roasted note for the malt, moderate to heavy smell of herbs, light soap for the yeast, and hints of apple, vinegar and metal. Head is small, wispy, off-white, with fair lacing and good legs and is almost fully diminishing. Flavor starts out moderately bitter, acidic and acetic, then finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery, with a lively carbonation and has a dry finish. This English Pale Ale could use a little sweetness, but the herb-like hop aroma is quite unique.

12oz bottle. Good floral aroma. Copper body with good white head and decent amount of lace left on pint glass. A sweet plae caramel malt in flavor and some what watered down. Best before end of month so this one may of lost its zip.
