Description 

Just like a classic video game, 8-Bit Pale Ale seems at first spectacularly simple, but then you realize this beer is also remarkably complex and fun. Our “Hop Rocket” infuses the character of Australian-grown Galaxy Hops into an American Pale Ale, giving 8-Bit Pale Ale a uniquely tropical, almost melon-like aroma. A Hop-Rocket is a stainless steel vessel we pack full of hops, then “rocket” the beer through for seven hours before packaging. Hop-Rocketing adds those unique hops characters, flavors and aromas lost in the brewing process back into the beer.

This beer pours a crystal clear, golden color supporting a finely beaded, resilient, white head. The aroma is a menagerie of hop flavors: floral, orange, apricot, resin and tropical fruit. The medium body sports a light toasty and bready malt to support the more prominent citrusy, floral, and fruity hop flavor. This beer finishes with a  moderate bitterness, lingering citrusy hops, and a crisp, clean character. The complex hop character and refreshing finish make this beer a very quaffable and hoppy Pale Ale.
