Today I'm drinking Blue Point American Pale Ale brewed by "Long Island's Brewery", Blue Point Brewing Company in Patchogue, New York. Big 22 comes with a simple green label with a few hops buds on the front. Their "Extremely Fresh" seal is double prominent on this one. There is a story on the side in 2pt font which actually made me permanently cross-eyed. The story ends with, "American Pale Ale is a deliciously fresh, all-seasons-all-people-beer". I hope my iPhone picture will be good enough to read. I recently enjoyed their Rastafa Rye Ale, so I'm hoping for another winner. OG 1.054; IBU 37.
Lemony citrus and orange aroma, fragrant, hoppy, fresh. Hoppy bitter lemon rind is the first sensation. Quite the bite, even to the point of being more astringent grapefruit-like and sour. A faint bread comes in and gives the bitterness a weak massage, but pine and hoppy floral flavor bosses just get fed up and fire the terrible masseuse. Fresh, crisp, refreshing. Big carbonation and good flavors. I do wish there was a little more fruity sweet balance but this is a solid beer all around. In fact, it reminds me very much of the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale I was drinking last night. Oh, and for $2.99 a big bottle, can you say no? I think not!
