Eighty-Five Wine Details
Price:

Description: This aggressive American ale features a hearty quantity of pale malt and a massive dose of US~grown Centennial and Cascade hops. The resulting ale is a rich golden color and rather light in body, yet has a huge citrus aroma and is extremely bitter. Our own alpha acid test!

Varietal Definition
Ale:
Ale is beer that is brewed using only top-fermenting yeasts, and is typically fermented at higher temperatures than lager beer (15–23°C, 60–75°F). At these temperatures, ale yeasts produce significant amounts of esters and other secondary flavours and aromas, often resembling those of apple, pear, pineapple, grass, hay, banana, plum or prune.
