A-Side American IPA.
6.7 % ABV. 65 IBU.
A-Side Public House, St. Paul, MN.
There's a new brewpub in town. Not this town, the next town over. So, Ed and I went to A-Side Public House in a former firehouse on on Randolph Street in St. Paul for lunch and beers. It's a nice spot, if a little high-toned. I ate some quiche, and had some beers, then took some home with me. Let's drink one.
Clear, deep amber hued, large and lasting, creamy-toned head, looking good.
In the nose: Herbal and floral notes emerge first, followed by fruit, citrus, apples, a little pear in there. Multidimensional loveliness.
In the mouth: A touch spicy and a lot hoppy, big and juicy at the start. Slightly sweet malt holds down the fort, with grapefruit and pine at play on the palate. Little bit of lemon. Medium bodied, long, lightly bitter finish. Classic rendition. Refreshing, with just enough hoppy flavor and bitterness to keep me happy.
A hoppy, bitter American ale brewed with classic American Cascade and Centennial hops. An iconic grapefruit & pine aroma/flavor with a firm, lasting bitterness - balanced with a light caramel malt sweetness.
