Our Thoughts

Today we have "Spare Rib Pale Ale" which is a American-Style Pale Ale that could be compared to a Light English bitter. Rated at only 4 ABV's this is a drink for an easy night where you don't want something too strong. This beer has a lot to offer. With an IBU profile of 35 it's got a more distinguished taste but isn't overwhelmingly bitter.

American-Style Pale Ale

American pale ales range from deep golden to copper in color. The style is characterized by fruity, floral and citrus-like American-variety hop character producing medium to medium-high hop bitterness, flavor, and aroma. Note that the traditional style of this beer has its origins with certain floral, fruity, citrus-like, piney, resinous, or sulfur-like American hop varietals. One or more of these hop characters is the perceived end, but the perceived hop characters may be a result of the skillful use of hops of other national origins. American pale ales have medium body and low to medium maltiness. Low caramel character is allowable. Fruity-ester flavor and aroma should be moderate to strong. Diacetyl should be absent or present at very low levels. Chill haze is allowable at cold temperatures.
