This American pale ale opens with citrus & tropical fruit aromas. A hint of malty sweetness balances perfectly with the abundant Citra & Centennial hops, creating what could be your new favorite pale ale—named in honor of our first brewer: Cheers, Travis McGee!

Appearance: Near clear, copper-toned body with a fizzy, though persistent, white head.
Smell: Spicy, earthy, mildly citrusy hops in the fore, fairly pale malts in the middle, and, as is Blackhorse's wont, some lightly buttery diacetyl in the back.
Taste: Pale malts with an added dose of sugared sweetness. The hops begin spicy and earthy, then rolls out some hints of lemon zest. Medium (if even) bitterness. Finishes drying, but with some final bittersweet and buttery hints.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: With diacetyl creeping into their entire lineup, well, that's just sloppy brewing. Trying my very best to look past such carelessness in one's craft, it would be an acceptable pale ale.
