Pale Rider
Chicago Brewing Company

Poured a orange color with a 1 inch head that produced some lacing through the drink. The aroma was of mellow hops, some fruitiness, and a tinge of malt. The taste was a bit stronger than what I expected from the aroma, as the hops and malt were far more pronounced. The hop level was nice, not overly bitter.

The mouthfeel was crisp and clean, and the crispness lasted on the tongue for a short period after swallowing. This is extremely drinkable and quite enjoyable. A clear session beer.

This beer poured a light amber color with very nice, creamy, white foam. The modest smell was of floral hops. The taste was dominated by floral hops, with some malt to balance. The flavor was a little thin. The mouthfeel was good: crisp with a good hop finish. The drinkability was good. This is a good pale ale, but I would have liked a more full body.
