Much like New Glarus, Ale Asylum Brewing out of Madison can only be found in WI. With their recent brewery expansion we were finally able to get our hands on this highly anticipated WI craft brew. This American Pale Ale pours with a golden glow and a thin head. The nose is full of floral and orange citrus aromas.
Beer is made from sugar and hops are traditionally (and typically) added to balance that sweetness with bitterness. Beers that are out of balance toward the hop side are considered hop forward. To complicate things, hops are also used for non-bittering flavor and aroma properties so some hop-forward beers will have heavy hop flavors and/or aromas. It is possible to have a beer that isn't bitter be hop forward because of this.
