Stoudts American Pale Ale
Pours a copper to orange color, with a nice fluffy white head. bubbles are tight and retention is solid. The lacing is fair as well. Floral and citrus hop aroma that turns a bit harsh. There's some sweet maltiness behind this that is a nice surprise in an APA. Taste is citrus hops, almost biting you as you sip. A good amount of caramel malt in the taste, swirled with some alcohol and a bitter hop finish that is quite pleasant. Interesting blend of flavors here, and not what I would typically expect from this style. Well balanced, and could be considered an American Red or Amber ale IMO. Nice body for an APA, and some character that impresses me still. I could drink this any time of day or night without question.
