Tyranena Stone Tepee Pale Ale

Brewed by Tyranena Brewing
Style: American Pale Ale
Lake Mills, Wisconsin USA

Liked the aroma alot, an orange and orange zest scent floating over a sweet caramel malt. This golden-orange brew is a smooth, skillful balance between the citric hops and the malt, making for an enjoyable drinking experience. Very nice.

Bottled. Poured a nice deep golden with a slightly reddish hue. Small, thin, bubbly white head. Pine and citrus aromas come through as well as a touch of mild butterscotch. Solid hops are present and it finish with a mild bitterness. I have had two of this brewers beers and both have been solid.

Surprisingly well made APA...very respectable Cascade hoppiness with citrus orange and grapefruit. But also nicey balanced by a solid base note of caramel maltiness. I will drink these whenever available.

Clear, magnifying orange in color with a foamy, sudsy, nearly orange and 1/3" tall head. Nice sticky lace clings to the sides of the tulip. Aroma produces grapefruit, papaya and oranges with a touch of lovely sweet honeysuckle rose. Crisp first palate hit and then a very flavorful citric surge comes calling. After the honey and floral combo move in and semi-aggressively recede, we transition to a potato bread yeast composure. Medium bodied and splendidly balance - it could give a number of IPAs a run for the money. Finishes with orange sprits on unsalted potato chips. Underrated.

Sampled at Tyranena Brewery. Rather light in color. This is not a bad beer, but I am not a fan of Pale Ales, including this one. Too bitter for me.

Sampled on tap at Tyranena on 9/10/05. This beer pours to a lighter color than the Headless Man. Mostly a dark straw color with a white head. The flavor is a nicely hopped APA. Almost a touch too light. It’s nicely bitter. The aroma has floral hops and a caramel malt. This is a decent APA. The palate is so-so. Needs to be bigger in all aspects.

12 oz. bottle at Miller park. Medium amber with a small head. Aroma of pine and tangy citrus with a sweet malt background. Flavor is tart grapefruit and pine with a light hint of caramel. Nice bitter hops finish. APA’s are not my favorite style but this was all right.

Poured a medium and slightly hazy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Lighter aromas of grapefruit and caramel. Stronger grapefruit in the tastes with citrus and light caramel. Nice bitterness to it. Light lacing left on the glass.
