🌍 Denmark · American Pale Ale · One of 238 American Pale Ales in hopIQ

An Easter ale brewed as a hoppier alternative to the traditional pale Danish Easter beer. The malt side follows English practice, with pilsner, Vienna and crystal malt giving a full base and a soft bitterness, while the hopping borrows American methods: Amarillo is used alongside Cascade, which also goes in as a dry hop. It pours amber-gold. Aroma: citrus and elderflower with light notes of malt and bread and a restrained fruitiness. The palate is refreshing, with a fresh bitterness and a dry hop bite in the finish.
