Backbone: Hops! ![]() Lemon Drops, Sea Salt, Orange Marmalade, Egg Salad, Stinky Sock, Wet Straw ![]() Key Lime Yogurt, Tangerine Jam, White Wine Vinegar, Lemongrass ![]() $7 | 1x 22oz bottle This stellar American Pale screams peak of freshness hop character from the heights of Everest. Rarely have I tasted a Pale that oozes such 'cut from the vines' balanced hop flavor sip through luscious pitch perfect swallow - seriously, I've had Wet Hop ales that don't taste this fresh and citrusy. Chicago would be right to be loudly proud of this hometown beverage of the Gods - the rest of us can only hope that Half Acre begins shipping this further afield, promptly. This is a brilliant beer to tempt your macro beer sipping friends with, a 'conversion' or 'steppingstone beer,' as I like to think of them. | ||||||
