Toppling Goliath Lightspeed Pale Ale, Made With Millennium and Falconer's Flight Hops. Millennium? Falcon? Lightspeed? I get it! Brewed and bottled by: Toppling Goliath Brewing Co., Decorah, IA. Live beer, please refrigerate. I bought this dry on the floor of Casanova's in Hudson, WI about 9 hours ago, took it home 2 hours ago, and set it in the DBF (Dedicated Beer Fridge) immediately after. It's cold enough, now it's time to drink.
Appearance: light golden coloring, slightly hazed, slim white head atop.
Aroma: Fresh and vibrant tropical fruit notes hit the nose first. Stone fruit, too. Peach, apricot, pineapple, passion. A squirt of grapefruit and a slice of orange. Growing wider and more bitter with each passing second. Citric cornucopia.
Taste: Moderate bitterness graces the palate first, though it promises to grow and turn from a spark to a blaze. Hop flavors zoom along the tongue, leaving blistering flavors in it's wake. Wow. This one's got it. Body is light-ish, medium-y, full of significant maltiness. Little bit of dry cracker & biscuit in the malt, which the hops blast over. Hops have a spicy kick that dominates over all and delivers the flavor across the galaxy.
The force is strong in this one. It's damned delicious.
Hey, there's a "screen crawl" on the side of the label, what's it say? "This seasonal pale ale was crafted with a perfect mixture of Millennium hops and Falconers Flight blend inviting orange aroma and hints of lemon flavor int this medium-bodied beauty will make you want to drink yours at light speed!"
