(BR) Pyramid Pale Ale

ClydedaleMTB_in_TN said:

A brisk and crisp hoppy explosion, but without a bitter aftertaste. Quite smooth almost
"cleansing" on the palate, actually. However it was not a "full frontal hops assault" like some
I've had in the past. It beckons to be savored on the tongue and the sides of the mouth and
slides down easily with a quick, almost fleeting finish, making you instinctively reach for
more. The perfect compliment to a Tops "jumbo, dark and hot."

While standing in the "Big Beer" section of the local liquor store, I spotted some Pyramid India

oceans, elephants finicky Colonists and spicy curries. Likewise, our India Pale Ale is a powerful
beer for bold tastes." Yes indeed, this I must try!

I figured it would companion nicely with some of memphis' finest (Tops... the Fraiser location ;-)
BBQ, and it did not disappoint!

I agree it's good. I haven't had one in a while either. Hmmm.

Careful with that Bigfoot. I forget the percentage but it's high (something keeps erasing my brain
when I drink it).

Nicec page.... While I agree with most of that there, my findings were quite different with regards
to it's finish and aftertaste.

I like a lot of Pyramids, especially their apricot pale ale and heff.

I'll send you a six pack of 'Tui' East India Pale Ale if you like. Let me know if you're interested.
A boutique brewery for over 100 years it's catching on here and becoming very popular. One of the
major breweries bought it out and has been marketing it. All the same, not a bad wee drop. Actually;
if I could get 'Monteiths' in cans, I'd sent you that. You'd enjoy their brews.

"Established at Mangatainoka in 1889 by landowner Henry Wagstaff, whose dream was to supply 'export
quality brews to beer drinkers around the colony'. His vision was quickly realised, and for over 100
years the brewery has enjoyed a reputation for producing award winning beers."

My standard as of late has been Bridgeport IPA. Relatively inexpensive and very good at $12 for a
12pack at my local beer store.
