Featured Beer: Pump Station Pale Ale

This is a hoppy, American-style pale ale with Amarillo hops are the dominant variety. Crystal malt is there to provide balance. 5.3% ABV.

American Pale Ale (APA) is a style of American beer based at least originally on beers of the British pale ale tradition. They are gold to amber in color and generally their flavor and aroma is centered around the citrusy and pine character of American hops-with caramel-like malt flavors and fruity esters from the ale yeast playing a supporting role. The style evolved with a renewed interest in ales and the resurgence of microbreweries in the United States. This brought a new focus on American hops. A low caramel character is allowable. Fruity-ester flavor and aroma should be moderate to strong. Chill haze is allowable at cold temperatures.
