Ale Asylum Demento Session Pale Ale. alc. 4.7% by vol. Ale Asylum, Madison, WI.
Appearance: highly hazed, both chill and unfiltered yeast, bright golden hue, slim white head.
Aroma: Bold citrus bomb, tropical notes, too, with traces of pine. Gorgeous hoppy nose.
Taste: Bomb-diddy-bomb. Citric hop attack on the palate, then all is mellow and cool. Cleans out in a hurry. Lean-bodied, light and easy.
Unfortunately, it's a bit too limp, too flaccid in it's effort to become a session ale. I'd rather have more long-lasting flavor than save on a few alcohol points here and there.
One interesting element of this bottle is that a large snaking strand of yeast that fell into the glass when I emptied it. I did not expect it, but don't mind it, either. It settled eventually, and blended in beautifully, leaving the glass a foggy haze. It certainly added to the flavor dimensions.
What's the gobbledygook on this one? "A symphony of Cascade and Centennial hops give this refreshing session pale ale a bright hop presence with a touch of bitterness."
