While searching for cheaper extract places online, I stumbled upon ritebrew. I decided on their West Coast style Pale Ale, and ingredients for another beer. Never dry-hopped so I though a Pale Ale might be a good place to start.
Well, its been in the bottle since before memorial day, and I've been drinking it for a few weeks now. WOW such a good Pale Ale! Think SN pale ale (I'm very fond of that beer!), but add MORE hops! Citrusy, piney, with just enough malt character to balance it out and make you want beer after beer... There are 6oz of hops dry-hopped for 5-7 days (5 for me, it was a time squeeze)
I share beer with a couple co-workers and the hop head of the two, who I have done a Seneca Lake (NY) beer trip with LOVES it as well. We agree on most hoppy beers, and are pretty particular, so his praise means a lot, to me. One thing he said really stands out was how fresh it was, and how the hop flavor and aroma was just easy to enjoy. I agree, wholeheartedly. Its not over the top, but its big on hop flavor and aroma. I'll be brewing this one a lot more!
Get a kit, brew it, see if you agree! And, Ritebrew is awesome. FAST shipping, and good prices.
CHEERS!
