Town Hall Full Sun Pale Ale

Ah, the sun. Bring it on, baby, it's spring at last! Free from winter! In mere days, that ol' sun's going to do double time and the snow will drop out. The last of the snowmen will fade, flowers will bloom, trees will blossom, birds will sing. Everyone was out today, jogging among the withering snowbanks, biking around the disappearing ice slicks.

So, what a fine beer to drink in honor of this beautiful time, the end of winter, the start of spring, the time of the sun.

Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery Full Sun American Pale Ale. 5.6% ABV. Minneapolis, MN.

Clear, golden toned, lovely cloud-white head atop.

In the nose: bright citrus, orange, lemon, a little grapefruit. Just slightly sweet. Very nice.

In the mouth: Hop bitterness grips the palate first and foremost. Mellow malt sweetness kept in check with high hop bitterness, though IBUs are undisclosed. Light-bodied, long-lasting hop attack. Refreshing and delicious. Hoppy pale ales are, in the current parlance of our times, my jam. I dig 'em the most.

And this is a really good one. Go drink it. I will, over and over again. If they run out too quick, go ahead and blame me.


American Pale Ale dry-hopped with Pacifica (NZ), El Dorado, Summit, & Citra.
