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.

Draft at Brewery Aug ’08: Poured a amber color with a thin white head. The aroma was citrus and hops. The taste is sweet, grassy, hoppy, and a bitter aftertaste. Overall, a tasty brew.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a 2 finger off-white head that results in nice lacing. The nose is caramel and light citrus hops. Taste is caramel, bread and light hops with a semi-bitter finish. Medium mouth feel. Decent pale.

Bottle. Pours clear amber-golden, with a big two finger head, good lingering lacing. Very fruity aroma of apple, fig and caramel. Medium-thin, crisp body. Malty apple caramel up front. Pine resiny and grapefruit hop flavors pick up at the end, with a satisfyingly bitter aftertaste.

12oz bottle. cloudy orange color. pours with little head. lots of lemony hop aroma, classic english malts are present as well. the abundance of hops give this beer a lush juicy citric taste. great bitterness. a solid, simple american pale ale.

Had this at a restaurant in my hometown. I was really impressed. I usually don’t care for many pale ales but this one was good. Nice hoppy, malty taste. Would definitely drink again.

On tap, ESPN Zone Denver. Nice balance of sweet caramel malt and fruity crisp hop character (orange zest, passionfruit).
