Tyranena Stone Tepee Pale Ale

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

Aroma of coniferous hops with some floral, honeyed notes. Pours a lightly hazy amber, one finger of white head dissipates soon with some lace. Flavor of grapefruit hops, fruit juicy and bittersweet. Malts are worty, but unpleasantly husky on the finish. Nicely carbonated on the palace, but overall thin-bodied.

Bottle pours a clear light amber with a smallish head leaving some residual lace. The aroma is most certainly hop oriented, leaning toward the pine resin side of the spectrum, with some biscuit coming through. The flavor is bread, fruit, some hops, and some lingering ale bitterness. The palate is very refreshing and cleansing - thin to medium bodied. Overall, I like this one pretty well.

Bottle courtesy of tytoanderso. Pours gold with a rocky white head. Smells of resin, caramel, some light spice. Tastes of pepper, earth and some spice.

Aroma- Subdued American hop aroma with clean grassy tones dominating, light citrus, moderate bread malts are present, no diacetyl. Appearance- Dark gold hue with amber highlights, small white head mostly dissipates, good clarity. Flavor- Moderate hop bitterness dominates although the hop flavors are lacking (subdued grass, citrus, pine), substantial clean malts balance out the lighter hop profile, light chalk, minimal esters, finishes dry and bitter, no diacetyl. Mouthfeel- Medium-light body, high carbonation, smooth finish. Overall- Fairly refreshing APA, good balance between hops and malts, the main weakness is a lack of hop flavors which is made more noticeable by the significant hop bitterness which dominates throughout, hops are also subdued in the aroma, carbonation is bordering on distracting, the grassy tones are too excessive for the style.

Bottle, thanks to kosko20. Nice amber pour some white head. Aroma is a mix of bready and sweet malt, and some older citrus hops. The flavor is the same, nice mouthfeel, sort of bready finish and lightly bitter in the finish.

Pours a golden orange color with a nice lingering white head. Aroma is very hoppy with a bit of lemony zest but with a detectable sweet caramel backbone. Flavor starts with a definite citrus fruit character that balances with the sweet edge that comes in the middle. The hops come much more apparent in the finish and there is a lingering bitterness. Medium body and medium carbonation. I actually really liked this pale ale and thought it was very well balanced.

bottle. unpoured. smells like peanut shells. super musty aroma. tastes like orange marmalade. but only slightly. there’s not much to be happy about here.

Bottle poured a clear golden amber with a small lasting ivory head. Aromas of bstraw, graininess, carmel, earthiness and a hint of citrus. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, earthiness and light fruittiness with a smooth lightly bitter finish.
