German pilsner malt and Cara gold form the base of this west coast with acidulated malt used to reduce the pH of the mash and aid with reducing tannic bitterness. This gives a beautifully smooth, golden biscuit character which complements the kettle hop bitterness and dry hop character of Columbus, Centennial and Simcoe. Marmalade bitterness, floral, pine forest aromatics and assertive mouth coating resin melds with passion fruit and lemon peel in a smooth, refreshing finish.

Pours a slightly cloudy, golden coloration with a large. fluffy head. Smells of biscuity, slightly caramelly malt and resinous, citrus hops, with notes of grapefruit and pine. Taste is an excellent balance of biscuity, slightly caramelly malt and fruity, bitter, resinous, slightly floral and herbal hops, with citrus notes of grapefruit and tangerine as well as some pine. Finishes with a strong bitterness and some grapefruit and pine lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

This makes for a great West Coast Pale Ale that fits the style perfectly with its bitter, resinous character and zesty citrus notes. A very enjoyable, bold example of the style that's rather bitter and flavorful for the ABV. Just a tad light-bodied, perhaps, but really not too bad for the ABV at all. Turns a bit too floral for my personal taste as it warms though.
