Full Sail Hop Pursuit

Extra Pale Ale, Brewmaster Reserve 2010. 22oz bottle, 6%abv.

This is a refreshing change from the last two double-IPAs. Hop Pursuit is still boldly-hopped, but the underlying beer is significantly lighter.

The aroma is mostly hops, but they aren't overpowering.

Flavor is more balanced, with some sweetness coming through to offset the hop flavor.

Body is crisp and light, with a solidly bitter hop finish.

Very nice beer, it would be perfect for a warm spring day. I wish I had one of those...

  1. we had lots of rain today, especially in the afternoon. Just more reason to drink beer and ice my balls.

  2. Ah, chilly balls, good times. I imagine those would be nicer on a warm spring day too!

    We've had the weirdest damn weather up here. February was absolutely gorgeous, warm, sunny, dry, and now late March and early April have been horrible. It was mixed rain and snow here last week.
