HAWAIIAN STYLE PALE ALE ~ SPEARHEAD

Sampled on draught.  Spearhead’s Hawaiian Pale ale is brewed in the hoppy west coast tradition – with a touch of pineapple.  It is naturally carbonated, unfiltered and dry hopped.  The beer began as an experiment in the brewer’s kitchen with a bunch of leftover pineapple that was kicking around, the rest is history.

It pours a hazy coppery colour with a good foamy head.  Pine, pineapple and citrusy grapefruit round out the aroma.   It is quite a hoppy quaff , beginning with hints and caramel then lots of piny and citrusy hops.  Finishes dry with a very subtle sweetness, and a bittersweet aftertaste.
