This not so pale ale pours a dark golden bordering on amber with a nice snowy white head on top of the mountain.** Fresh aroma with some citrus for our daily vitamin C intake. But there was no fruit in the first swig, it was a little hoppy and bitter, not too bitter but close. Too bad that fruit didn’t show up, it would have made a nice balanced ale. But wait! The fruit came out a bit near the end of my quaff as it warmed up a bit. I like an icy cold brew but perhaps there was some fruit and some balance hidden in the cold?
Not what I would describe as smooth, it has a bitter and slightly boozy finish which surprised me because it is not a high ABV brew. This is a good basic pale ale, nice flavour, some bitters, with a bit of citrus lying In wait.
