The warmer weather is right around the bend. Enjoy one these five pale summer ales from Courage and Progress' favourite breweries.
Camden Town Pale Ale
The Breakdown:
AMERICAN STYLE PALE ALE
ABV: 4.0%
HOPS: COLUMBUS, CASCADE, AMARILLO, CITRA
ABV: 4.0%
HOPS: COLUMBUS, CASCADE, AMARILLO, CITRA
The Brewer says:
"We crash together the easy-drinking tradition of British brews with the bold hop flavour of American pale ales for beer made here in London.
Like the Queen wearing dirty sneakers, it’s traditionally British with a rock star twist of American hops, giving citrus and tropical fruit, a round body and a drink-me-faster bitterness."
Ilkley Brewery Mary Jane IPA
The Breakdown:
INDIA PALE ALE
ABV 6.0%
HOPS: AMARILLO, CITRA & CHINOOK, NORTHDOWN, MOTUEKA
The Brewer Says:
"Mary Jane Export is a Trans-Atlantic India Pale Ale. Relying on the English hops for bittering, the star of the show is the North American hop aroma, deceptively smooth on the palate building to a hoppy crescendo.
Based on the award-winning Yorkshire classic Mary Jane, it has a floral aroma, notes of honey and a pleasant lingering bitterness to finish. Recent 3rd Place in the Atlanta Cask Ale Festival 2014 in USA"
Brooklyn Brewery Summer Ale
SUNNY PALE ALE
ABV: 5.0%
HOPS: GERMAN PERLE, AMERICAN CASCADE, FUGGLE, AMARILLO
The Brewer Says:
"Summer in Brooklyn is all about following your impulses, winging it from beaches and barbecues to stoops and rooftops. Brooklyn Summer Ale is a refreshing, flavorful pale ale made to accompany you on all your warm weather adventures. 100% British 2-row barley brings its famed bready flavors, capped off with German and American hops to provide a snappy, clean bitterness and a bright, floral aroma. It's a sunny pale ale, Brooklyn style."
Thornbridge x Sierra Nevada Twin Peaks
ANGLO-AMERICAN PALE ALE
ABV: 5.0%
The Brewer Says:
"A Sierra Nevada collaboration with aromas of tropical fruits - pineapple and mango balanced with the refreshing taste of lemon sherbet - refreshing and easy drinking."
Roosters Baby-Faced Assassin IPA
The Breakdown:
INDIA PALE ALE
ABV: 6.1%
The Brewer Says:
"Brewed with 100% Citra hops that create aromas of mango, apricot, grapefruit & mandarin orange, along with a lasting, juicy, tropical fruit bitterness, the Baby-Faced Assassin is a deceptively quaffable India Pale Ale that shouldn’’ be taken lightly."
