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.

Tap, I was pleasantly surprisedwith this one and the amount of hops in it, usually you cant go wrong with that. It also had some caramel backbone. Highly carbonated, but just slightly thin.

Pours a light light copper with big head. Dissapates with decent lacing. No real aroma noted, just a slight astingency. Flavor is fine, but fairly muted. I guess I just don’t appreciate an old standard pale anymore. Not bad, just nothing there.

on tap at papago... pours a darker hazy copper color than the ipa with a similar head... fluffy, soapy and white with lots of clingy lace. the aroma is of very soapy british style hoppiness... mixed in are a fruitiness of some sort, orange, flowers, caramel and soft earthy spices. the flavor is a nice blend of the aroma characteristics... with a spicy dry finish and a dryness which continues to parch the mouth into the aftertaste. lots o’ hops in this one! so much so that the mouth feel is prickly from them! medium bodied with a nice sessionable mouth feel...7/4/7/3/15/3.6

14 karat pour produces a fluffy white head and minimal lacing. Aroma is of lemongrass, caramel, and resin. Flavor follows with a lingering bitterness that sticks to the palate after the sip. Not bad but nothing about this beer makes me want to buy another.

On tap at Falling Rock in Denver. Pours a clear amber with a big white head. Light aroma, of hops, citrus, and malt. Taste is a blend of hops and malt, both sweet and bitter. Lingering light bitterness. Decent.

12oz bottle. Pours a crystal clear light orange body with a small, white, quickly disappearing head that leaves decent lacing. Aroma of creamy caramel malts and sweet pine resin hops. Flavor is pretty standard, but has a decent amount of sharp hop bite that carries throughout. Light bodied and fairly well balanced. Smooth drinking and a nice piney aftertaste. Overall, nothing out of the ordinary, but a really good drinking pale ale with a decent bitter backing.
