Surly Zest Crazed Pale Ale with Grapefruit and Lemon added. 5.5% Alc. by Vol. Surly Brewing, Brooklyn Center (& Minneapolis), MN.
Slightly hazy, bright golden hued, slim white head, leaving lace. Quite nice.
In the nose: Citrus explosion. Zest is king here, hops are second fiddle. Fruity as you get. (Within reason, naturally.)
In the mouth: Boom! Zest and hops hit together! Oof! Pow! Blam! Blaze of bitterness blasts the palate, with the juicy fruit keeping time behind. Bright, fresh and lovely. Light-ish bodied, easy-drinking. You can toss back one after another.
Go ahead and drink it.
Our brewers couldn't say no. Once they got a taste of the peel, they were hooked. They were....Zest Crazed Maniacs! The bright aromatics, paired with juicy grapefruit and lemon zest, dominate our citrus-heavy take on the American pale ale.
BREWED FOR: THE TYPE OF FLAVOR YOUR PARENTS WARNED YOU ABOUT.
Bright hop aromatics and grapefruit and lemon zest combine in our citrus-heavy take on the American pale ale.
