12 oz single from Ale Yeah, Decatur, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Relatively new entrant to the Atlanta market. Th e pour gives a clear, copper colored body with a one finger head. Head is unfortunately poorly retained and there is virtually no lace. Color is pretty though.
I’m very surprised at the hoppy nature of the nose. It’s quite striking under any circumstances, and considering the style that is even more amazing. The tastes also give up some of that hoppy element, but it’s not quite as strong as the nose initially suggests.
The beer is quite clean and dry, and imparts a refreshingly metallic note. The bitterness builds quite substantially.
Not at all what I was expecting for the advertised style, and the beer combines an interesting combo of styles that sit somewhere between an IPA and dry, clean red/amber ale. It’s very hoppy when considering the APA style.
