Great Divide Fresh Hop

Fresh Hop
Great Divide Brewing
American Pale Ale
6.2% ABV
OG?
IBUs?
On tap at Stub & Herb's

Appearance 4.5/5
Clear deep copper with a creamy off white head; decent head retention and good lacing.

Aroma 4/5
Very fruity in the nose with tropical fruit notes shining, mango & papaya, and some herbal aroma.

Taste 4/5
Flavorful bitterness riding on a good, but nondescript, malt base with a bitter, medium-dry finish.

Mouthfeel 3.5/5
Medium bodied with low-ish carbonation. I'd like it crispier, but it could be the serving temperature too.

Drinkability 4/5
Good but nothing exceptional given the flavor/ABV ratio.
