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.

[Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival] A hazy orange beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and cascade hops. The flavor is sweet with quite a lot of hops dominating the impression, and giving it a bitter end.

Bottled. Deep orange, small head. Aroma of apricot and grapefruit. Medium sweet and medium bodied. Pleasantly hoppy, but less crisp than some of the best APAs, and also less bitter than many examples of the style.

Bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007
Hazy light amber color. Some malt and hop aroma, maybe a bit fruity, and some grass. Simple flavor, with light caramel, dry, some sugar, very light apple peel, quite strong (or correct) bitterness. Too simple.
