Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
From the Cigar City Brewing website: “The
people of Tampa Bay have fallen prey to Pirate invasion every year for well
over 100 years. After more than a century of failing to repel these seafaring
raiders in their anachronistic wooden ships, despite access to modern sea, land
and air arsenals that ostensibly should make short work of wind powered vessels
equipped with naught but cast iron cannons and raging scurvy, it occurred to
the folks of Cigar City Brewing that if you can’t beat them start saying Arrrr
Matey! And so we have brewed Invasion Pale Ale, a citrusy and tropical session
beer brewed for those long days of marauding, pillaging and pirating. Cheers!”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a hazy golden orange color with a large white head and lots of lacing.
Aroma: Tropical,
citrus and slight pine hops, with a touch of sweet caramel and toasted malts.
Taste: Orange,
tangerine, slight lemon and tropical hop flavors balanced with some sweet
caramel and toasted malts.
Overall: Light
and tropical, Cigar City Brewing Invasion Pale Ale is refreshing and
enjoyable. This 5% ABV offering is highly
recommended for those seeking a Pale Ale that’s different from the norm.
Cheers!
