What the brewer says

“Americannon is a bold pale ale that’s been double dry hopped with Centennial hops and Simcoe lupulin hops powder. The first Heavy Seas beer to use lupulin hops powder, Americannon is an intensely flavorful pale ale.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Grassy and lemony with a touch of pine and peppercorn. Some maltiness and caramel.” Flavor: “Bright hops character throughout—lots of lemon and pine with a touch of grass. The underlying beer is clean, has a nice caramel malt backbone, and supports the hops. The finish has really nice clean pine notes with a grassy dry hops profile.” Overall: “Pretty solid pale ale with great hops expression that adds a bunch of character but isn’t overdone or out of balance. You definitely get some of the grassy dry-hop character, but it adds complexity to the underlying pine and citrus. The finish is bitter, yet overall refreshing and bright.”
