As the sun rises earlier and stays out longer, the Full Sail crew celebrates the coming of spring and the sprouting of this year’s hop crop with a new beer in their Brewmaster Reserve line-up. Hop Pursuit is a crisp, orange blonde extra pale ale with a medium malt body that’s chased by a ton of hop flavor and zing of bitterness. It was brewed with the less aggressive, old school craft brewing hops– Cascade, Willamette, and Mt. Hood– to celebrate more of the hop flavor and less of the hop bitterness. These give the beer a nice and fresh citrus herbal character without a lot of intensity; instead it has a softly flavorful character with touches of orange and lemon. The beer was dry hopped for two weeks to amplify these delicate hop flavors. It will be available in specialty beer stores and pubs throughout the Pacific Northwest from March to June in 22oz bottles and draft.

Pours clear orange-amber with a fairly thick and persistent buff head. Aroma delivers sharp citrus and resiny hop notes plus a mild malty underpinning. Flavor puts hops ahead of citrus and ups the malt a little. Citrus is mainly fresh, tangy orange with a little grapefruit. Firm, smooth mouthfeel presents fair fizz. Go in pursuit of this one.

Pours an orange-gold with a medium white head. This beer is all about the aroma--lemon and grass dominate. Slightly bitter taste but the hops are well balanced by an ample biscuity malt backbone. A pleasant, delicate beer; not as agressively hopped as many other pale ales.

It pours a light copper with a thick and foamy white head and fairly copious lacing. An aroma of caramel malts, hops, orange/citrus, fruit punch, breads, and some spiciness. The mouthfeel is too thin for me. Flavors of caramel malts, hops, oranges and citrus notes, breadiness, and spices. It's good, but the mouthfeel is too weak.

Always happy to see a new FS product, they never blow me away but you get a solid product and get what it offers .. . Pours a medium caramel gold, medium head, light lacing .. . smell is of biscuits, sap, and english hops .. . medium bitterness, simple and straight forward, a great little session beer and at 3 bucks a bomber, fantastic beer drink! .. . Its an extra pale, i guess, basically an english ipa or pale, but i just wanted a simple brew after a bottle of shared wine and this was good for right before dinner- good and especially good for the price.. . slow down joe jack- slower ... . just stop the truck...

Aromas of citrus and melons, nice hazy orange body with a frothy white cap that left some ok lacing. Slightly sticky mouthfeel, slight hop presence at first sip with bready malts in the middle and end with a dry finish. Overall a decent APA

22oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden orange with a smallish frothy white head that goes to a thin film that laces the glass a little.
The aroma is sweet corny grainy malts with some melon and some metallic hops.
The flavor is sweet vegetal malts with some metallic bitterness that lingers in the aftertaste. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with slightly sharp carbonation.
Overall, a decent amount of bitterness for a pale ale. It's just not very pleasant with lots of off-notes, and not well balanced. -

Sampled 6/26/2010. This American Pale Ale pours a medium orange gold color from a 22oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity, sweet, hoppy and citrusy. A medium bodied American Pale Ale. The malts are fruity and sweet. Touch of citrus. The hops are citrusy and grapefruity. Nice balance. Good carbonation. Decent beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

22 oz bottle into a Duvel Tulip Poured a light hazy orange with a huge off-white head (with an aggressive pour) that settled quickly but never completely dissapted. Nice lacing which was present throughout. Nose is breadiness, floral hops with some citrus in the background. Taste is bready and earthy with a nice balance of hops and sweet malts. Feel is on the light side. You certainly notice the carbonation but it works with the lighter mouthfeel. Although the name would suggest something other than an APA, this beer is true to the style and very nicely at that. It’s quite refreshing and, at 6%, quite sessionable.
