A hybrid between traditional English Pales and their American cousins. A slightly bready mouthfeel lingers into sweet caramel and citrusy hop aroma. The brew finishes with a mild grassy bitterness.

Fairly hoppy for a pale ale. Lemony first taste. Pass.

Poured a cloudy gold minimal head and lace and had a grainy aroma with a dry, even somewhat sour hop and malt combo taste profile. Not much going on in this beer as there is a little sweetness but the hops and malts aren't balanced and the beer's overall profile is just a light bodied, almost watery, sour/funky beer.
