I recently received a load of beer from in-laws in Milwaukee; they tracked down 
a few I was looking for, and threw PseudoSue in based off the recommendation of 
the beer shop guy. It’s an American Pale Ale by [Toppling Goliath Brewing Company](http://www.tgbrews.com/)
in Iowa.

Instantly I was drew into the cool label and the fact it was an APA. That wasn’t
even the best part though.

**ABV:** 5.80%
 **IBU:** 50 **Style:** American Pale Ale **Brewery Description:**
This single hop pale ale showcases the Citra hop for a well balanced beer that is
delicate in body with a mild bitterness in the finish. She roars with ferocious 
aromas of grapefruit, citrus, mango and evergreen. pseudoSue’s unique and addictive
taste is clean and bright with just enough bite!

**Appearance:** This was poured from a 12 oz bottle into a standard pint glass. 
It appeared a pale orange, hazy, and had a finger of off-white head. The head slowly
receded and had a little lacing.

**Smell:** The primary aromas are citrus and pine, but you get hints of grapefruit,
mango, and caramel as well. It’s a very sweet smell.

**Taste:** The citrus and pine are front and center on this. You get hints of earthy
tastes along with some of the malt.

**Mouth:** Medium body and carbonation with a little bit of a hoppy aftertaste; 
for those that don’t like bitter beers, it won’t overpower you.

**Overall:** This ranks as one of my favorite APAs. It’s easy to drink and something
that I’d pick up on a regular basis, if they sold it in St. Louis.

The [Beer Advocate](http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/23222/72170/) score
is 100 (World Class) and the Bros haven’t scored it; it’s currently #29 on their
Top 250. Untappd has it as 4.39 with over 21,000 rankings.

Score: 5 Empty Pints (the perfect beer)
 [⌊5.0⌉](https://i0.wp.com/www.nyrdcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/5.0.png?ssl=1)
