About

Althea from Galway Bay Brewery is a modern American Pale Ale brewed on Ireland's west coast with German Pilsner malt, Saaz hops and Galway water. At 4.8% ABV, this session ale takes an unconventional approach: low bitterness, but abundant hoppy aroma. The nose leads with grapefruit, tropical fruit and citrus notes. The palate stays light and approachable, avoiding the assertive bite of traditional pale ales. Bready malt provides a subtle backbone that supports the fruity hop character without overwhelming it. Named after a Grateful Dead track, Althea delivers a refreshing drink for those seeking hop aroma without heavy bitterness.
