Review – Great Divide Fresh Hop Pale Ale

From Great Divide: Fresh Hop is an American-style pale ale with moderate hop bitterness, highlighted by a unique and intensely floral and citrusy hop character. Fresh Hop is a superbly refreshing, medium-bodied, light copper-colored pale ale weighing in at 55 International Bittering Units (IBUs) and 6.1% alcohol by volume.

Great Divide Fresh Hop Pale Ale – 22 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass. 6.1% abv.

Appearance: Clear copper with a thick, 1/2 inch white head.

Aroma: Citrus, such as lime and lemon. Fresh cut grass. I know the bottle told me so, but had I not read it, I would have came to the very same conclusion.

Taste: Piny and floral. Also very earthy.

Mouthfeel: Bitter and a bit astringent.

Overall: Tasty, fresh, and earthy. I bet it is even better on tap.
