Patio Pale Ale
Border Brewing Company

12oz can from Border. Poured out a clear, golden color with a small, white head of fluffy foam. It left sudsy lace. It smelled of orange, toasted caramel and pine. Sweet citrus taste with caramel and a piney bitterness.

Pours a clear copper with an off-white finger of foam. Aroma is pale, bready, and nutty malts that are aided by faint citrus hops. It has a raw grain quality to it. Flavor profile plops that citrus right out front, like ice cream in an ice cream cone. Immediately following citrus is pale, bready malts and raw grain. It leans into some worty sweetness afterwards. Finish is back to sweet. Mouth feel is lightly creamy, with a medium thickness. Overall, a quaffable and mild pale ale that is citrus lead, but bready malt dominated.

Draft. Reviewed from notes. Batch #1 at the new location.
