Salida Del Sol Amber

Draught at The Yard, 6/11/18.
Clear, sunny-orange-apricot with very light amber tints. Medium-sized, white head atop shows moderate retention. High clarity.
Hoppy in the nose with tons of citrus. Lemon-orange rind with very light nectarine and lots of marmalade behind it. Biscuity-cracker malt with a pinch of honey-like depth and clean, with no alcohol or resin. The hops kind of outshine anything else going on here, and though there done quite nicely, with no resin or other sharpness, it certainly doesn't seem like any Mexican vienna I've ever had. Thought I was given a hoppy pale ale and had to ask the waitress to make sure she brought me the right beer.
In the mouth it's equally hoppy, with low-to-moderate, snappy bitterness and a soft base malt texture with light grainy cracker imparting good dryness in concert with the strong attenuation. Orange, nectarine, lemon and spicy marmalade with honey-vanilla on the finish, from the malt. Clean and drinkable with engaging carbonation. Excellent hoppy pale ale!

Draft at Granite Mountain. Clear bright golden color, white head with solid lacing. Aroma of stone fruit. Taste is papery fruit.
