🌍 China · American Pale Ale · One of 189 American Pale Ales in hopIQ

Great Leap's core American Pale Ale — the beer that built their reputation before Honey Ma stole the show. Citrus and floral American hops over a solid malt base with a satisfying bitter finish. #6 is Great Leap's workhorse: the reliable, well-made Pale Ale that introduced Beijing's expat community to craft beer in those early hutong years.
