#24 Schlafly - APA Dry Hopped

Another trip to the Schlafly Bottle works for a beer. This one is a Dry Hopper APA. Dry Hopped mean hops are added to the beer after brewing to sit with the beer for a few days to a few months. It makes for a very strong hop taste. An APA or American Pale Ale, is an IPA (Indian Pale Ale) with more hops, and little malt flavor.

HOPS, that is what this beer is about. I smell a light floral aroma of hops, but only a light smell nothing too strong. The color is a nice golden, that seem to be filtered. This beer has very little foam, but the little foam is sticky and stays there while I drink the beer.

The taste is full of hops spice and fruit. There is a good fruit taste maybe a pineapple or an apple. There is also a spicy flavor that can only be described as a hop spice flavor. This beer isn't grassy as a hoppy beer might. This beer has a sticky thick mouth feel like a hoppy beer.

This is a dry hopped APA , that means A LOT of hops are used in this beer and I really enjoyed it. I was looking for a hoppy beer tonight instead of the lackluster #15. This APA came through 110% in the hop category. It might be too much for some people but I enjoyed it.
