Resident Brewing’s Pio Pico Pale Ale<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From the Beer Writer: <\/strong>Two years ago, I was told by numerous members of the brewing-industry that pale ales were a dying beer breed. Pale ales are still around, but they are scarcer than they have been in the past and the debate about their long-term viability continues. Most that you find these days are not like pale ales pre-dating 2014\u2014meaning more traditional orange- or copper-colored pale ales with sturdier malt framework balancing out their hop bills. It would seem the pale ale is here to stay, but destined to take a backseat to the ubiquitous and far more popular India pale ale and <\/em>take on the flavor, aroma and appearance of IPAs. Resident Pio Pico Pale Ale <\/strong>exemplifies the contemporary pale ale. Hopped like an IPA and given depth courtesy of myriad less-imposing malts, it is extremely dry and bursting with hop-appeal. Juicy notes of orange, apricot and pineapple hit first, followed by a touch of pine-like bitterness accompanied by an almost nutty toastiness. At 5.5% alcohol-by-volume, it\u2019s well-suited for a day of sports spectatorship at its place of origin, The Local Eatery and Watering Hole<\/strong><\/a> (the parent-company of on-site Resident Brewing Company<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n

From the Brewer: <\/strong>\u201cPio Pico Pale Ale is a highly hopped West Coast pale ale featuring a new hop variety called Idaho 7 and a smaller amount of Citra hops. At Resident, we constantly want to test out new hops, and Idaho 7 was towards the top of the list. For this pale ale, the grist contains Canadian two-row, English pale malt, wheat malt and a small amount of Crystal 15. We wanted some wheat malt for extra body and two types of base-malt for some malt complexity. This beer was not filtered or fined, for a medium-bodied American pale ale with big hop punch. Idaho 7 hops brings an orange pithiness, ripe pineapple and some grassiness. Adding a smaller amount of Citra hops brings in a touch more tropical character to the flavor and aroma. We dry-hop Pio Pico with the same amount of hops as our IPAs so the hop aroma climbs out of the glass..\u201d\u2014Robert Masterson, Brewmaster, Resident Brewing Company<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
