Fresh Hop Ale
The first year, this looks to be a once a year from here on. This beer is brewed with locally grown hops. Vine to beer in the same day. The beer stradles the line between Pale and IPA not just by the the abv. but by the flavor and mouthfeel. It has the refreshing lightness of a pale but it also has the crushing hop flavor/aroma of an IPA. The medium alchol level is a great it allows me to enjoy more of this deliciousness than say Outstanding or Citra. This beer pours into your glass about the same color as the IPA, dark orange to reddish, with a good portion of foam on top. A big nose of fresh floral and citrus with a little sweet maltiness. Tasty brew that is light in the initial sip but turns thicker and chewier with the resin of hops coating your palette. Very drinkable brew from KRBC, a great first attempt by the brewery.
