355ml can - what, they can't call this 'Mile 49' because of the scenic driving route in California? Shitty, if so.

This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, chunky, and somewhat caked off-white head, which leaves a smattering of dissipating cloud lace around the glass as it quickly subsides.

It smells of gritty and crackery pale malt, estery generic citrus peel, an earthy yeastiness, and some prominent leafy, grassy, and floral green hop bitterness. The taste is grainy and doughy pale malt, a bit of biscuity caramel, extant yeast, a still plain citrus fruitiness, and more wet grassy, herbal, and bitter floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its go-get-em boys frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and sort of smooth, I suppose, but for that growing floral acridity. It finishes trending dry, with some fading malt graininess, and that grassy and floral thing coasting right along.

Overall, this is not really my kind of hoppy pale ale - the focus on the floral and estery bitterness don't quite float my boat. Check this one out if you're ok with that, as it is not a bad brew, but it makes my palate feel, um, what's that word again? Oh yeah - derailed.
