The Public Ale
From 64oz growler to plastic cup with Easter dinner on 4/24/11 *From notes A: Unfiltered and robust autumn amber. Enticing 1.25 finger head and killer, sticky lacing. S: Extremely floral for an APA. It really pulls you in, as the hops are so well balanced with the light, sweet traces of alcohol and malt. T: It's English meets West Coast. You've got that malty Enlgish foundation upon which the citrusy West Coast hop profile comes out to play. It's quite bitter on the mid and the finish showcases a bit of the alcohol. Really tasty stuff. M: Winning - this is a really creamy and well balanced brew that flashes the proper carbonation and weight. I know the canned version will be filtered, though I hope they can keep the weight I found so luxurious here. O: An outstanding APA, and I'm extremely proud to know this came from the D to the C. DC Brau's The Public Ale is a home run for the style, and I simply can't wait to see what these crafy craftsmen have up their sleeves in the coming months and years. Two BIG thumbs up.
