I picked up this vegan friendly triple hopped American Pale Ale a couple of years ago because I was tickled by the name but since then Brew York have taken off and become well known for brewing innovative and extremely unusual beers.
Just look at the head on that! It's immense! The cream coloured head is quite loose but there's lots of it so it doesn't vanish in a flash and it does lace the glass. It sits atop a hazy orange-hued golden beer that is so vibrant it reminded me of the fiery colours of the setting sun.
It has an enticing smell of citrus and hops which transfer to the taste along with a hint of tropical fruit and caramel. Well balanced, it's deliciously bittersweet with caramel infused citrus bubbles bursting on the tongue to produce a cream soda like flavour with a dry, bitter finish. Very well carbonated (how could it not be to produce such an impressive head) and medium bodied, it's so easy to drink that it's a shame it was just in a 330ml can.
Brew York was my first Brew York beer and it certainly wasn't my last as I've tried a number of them since then. I drank this in 2018 and it's possibly been rebrewed under another name by now as Brew York have a good range of vegan beers that are well worth checking out. If it was still being produced, Ale Be Seeing You again!
5.1% ABV
