Notes:
A light and refreshing American Ale, made with pale malt and crystal hops. She was inspired by my Mother's Mother, Granny Ruth because of her love and support. Don't be Ruthless. Have one on Granny.

This pours a light gold with a pleasing hop character. I like the grainy backing, reminiscent of a toasted cereal note. Clean, crisp, just what I want in a pilsner—although it’s listed as a pale ale. What’s going on here?

Golden color, lots of shit floating around the beer. Hops not even close to being evident.
Taste was toasted malt like a pale ale, but the yeast and lack of hops had me confused. Bready. Slightly bitter. I just really didn't understand what they were trying for here. Belgian pale ale?

Pours cloudy gold under a 1” off white foam cap that grips the side of the glass. Somewhat week nose offers primarily light malt aromas and traces of caramel. Rich malt flavors lead to an assertive hop finish. Medium body and carbonation.
