From the label“In celebration of our 25th Anniversary, we doubled all of the ingredients of our original Steel Rail Extra Pale Ale in this bold new take on a classic. The finished product is remarkably smooth, with honey and light caramel overtones and a soft, viscous mouthfeel. Willamette hops help create exceptional balance. Imperial Steel Rail is a limited release. Thank you for 25 years of support, things are looking up!”
