Consumed at Bennedito's Pizza on Spokane's South Hill for $4.50. This is named for the longtime Sprague Avenue watering hole that is located near where this beer is brewed. I suspect it will be a regular brew distributed there, since Budge Bros. is apparently withdrawing from supplying the Checkerboard (or anyone else) with kegs of their beer.
Served in a Guinness glass, this was a hazy orange-amber color. The bartender served it filled to the brim, so there was no head to view. She said she viewed it as much as an IPA as a pale ale. While not quite hopped to that standard (40 IBUs per the local newspaper's beer guy, Rick Bonino), after drinking it I could see her point.
Quite hoppy in the aroma. Definitely a "West-Coast Pale Ale."
Citrusy and piney, fairly robust for a pale ale, but it finished fairly cleanly and had the drinkability of a pale ale. I had somewhere I had to be, so I only had one with my lunch, but I could see myself happily having several. First Bennedito's beer and I'm impressed.
