St. Louis Brewery - Schlafly Brand "Dry Hopped APA" Review

Type: American Pale Ale

ABV: 5.9%

IBU: 50

Sight: Nice sunset orange with gold tones peaking through the translucent to opaque body the head was a bubbly white, a fingers thick.

Aroma: Subdued orange with an earthiness that i'm not so sure about(it is pleasant to those nose). Malty sweet touches meld all of it together well.
Taste: Malt sweetness is the leader in flavor and it jumps in from the front. Secondly you get a light tingle from the alcohol along with a subdued hop bitterness following. Not much of a hop-citrus taste, but a mild dryness is intermingled to help even everything out.

OverallL Not a bad APA at all. Very balanced throughout, with a medium mouthfeel. Nothing really pops as the dominant taste for me. I really didn't get the benefit in the dry-hopping at all. it didn't bring those "fruity flavors or aromas" as described on the bottle neck.


Schlafly Brewery

Score: 8.2/10
