New for Autumn 2013:

Sentinel Rye Pale Ale:

American Pale Ales are known for showcasing American hop varietals and this brew focuses palates toward several classic, new, and even experimental hop types in convert with loamy and peppery flavors of malted rye, Summit and Magnum hops lend a sturdy hop backbone to this deep bronze-colored beer, while the new Calypso hops add bright fruit characters. Mosaic hops feature a floral essence and new, still unnamed experimental hop variety brings it all together with notes of blueberry and coconut. 

A full crystal malt bill provides a backdrop of toasted bread-crust, toffee, and caramel notes to the complex hop aroma and flavor profile characterized by delicate hints of pear, apple, lavender, and tropical fruit. Malted rye adds a subtle spiciness to both the aroma and finish of this pale ale recipe. 

Sentinel Rye Pale Ale Brewer's Notes:
Sentinel Island's lighthouse rises stark and tall above Lynn Canal, guiding Southeast Alaska's fishing fleet and other seafaring wanderers safely through often rough seas. Much like this weatherworn icon of Lynn Canal, Alaskan Sentinel Rye Pale Ale is resilient beer worth searching for. The full circle of flavors in Sentinl Reye pair well with hearty, savory dishes with a hint of spice like black bean burgers, Cajun blackened fish, and pepper jack cheese.
