Sun King Osiris Pale Ale
What the brewers say
“Osiris Pale Ale is an assertive West Coast–style pale ale with a distinct citrus hops punch.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “A nice blend of pine and citrus (mostly grapefruit) and a slight floral/spice character with caramel and a grainy malt sweetness.”
Flavor: “Orange, grapefruit, pine, touch of lemon, and strawberry. Caramel sweetness with a lingering toasted bread character. Balance is slightly sweet from all of the perceived esters, but the bitterness supports things well and finishes clean. Has just enough English pale-ale character to remind you where American pale ales came from.”
Overall: “Nice APA that showcases solid process and fresh ingredients. Love the hops profile! A light, easy-drinking pale ale that is balanced and well- made. It would be a great beer after a hard day’s work outside.”
