Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailA.P.A

Blackstone A.P.A. was a collaborative effort between Blackstone brewmaster Dave Miller, brewmaster Harry Klausner and co-founder Kent Taylor. Kent’s sons Charles and Adam also had a major role in the development of this beer. (O.G. 1.049 IBUs 33) American pale ales are fashioned after the pale ales of England but with distinctly different hop character. The use of American hops, particularly Cascade, lend citrusy grapefruit character to the beer. American hops also have a very floral aroma. Tasting notes: Appearance: Clear copper color with a white head. Aroma: Floral citrusy hop aroma Taste: Citrus and resinous pine balanced by toasted, bready malts. Good amount of bittering, but certainly not over the top; strong dry hop character. Mouth feel: Medium body and good mouth feel that holds to the end Finish: Noticeably bitter finish Overall: This is an aggressively hopped beer; a hop heads dream while providing enough malt to not disappoint.
