The Public Pale Ale is brewed in the classic American Pale Ale style. Assertive bitterness backed by C-60 and Vienna malts which lend notes of rich, yet semi-dry caramel. Then followed up with a nice white grapefruit and citrus aroma that begs for a follow up sip.

Pours a gold color with a minimal head that lasts quite a while. Aroma of grains with a floral note. Taste is tangy with a somewhat hoppy bitterness at the finish

Amber color. Nice, white head. Resin, toasted malt, and grain in the aroma. Hoppy, bitter taste with a strong, malty backbone. A good one.

From a can. Pours a dark amber color with white head. Floral hop aroma. Medium body. Caramel malt with a piney hop finish. Pretty substantial for a pale ale.
