Beer #79 - Dark Star American Pale Ale

After narrowly missing out on a pint of this as they changed a cask on my previous visit to the Compton Arms I was pleased to find that it was still available last Wednesday. I’m a big fan of Dark Star and was keen to try this. Brewed with Cascade and Centennial hops and a specially-imported American yeast strain the brewery have gone all out to capture the essence of an American pale ale. As you’d expect it’s a bitter, grapefruit beer and notably dry. It is however a bit lighter than many beers of this type and I found it pretty drinkable despite my recent complaining about overly-hoppy American style beers.
