Creative ideas can happen when Tom Stolfi, our head brewer, takes inventory. While awaiting new inventory and making sure Rustic Road’s six taps offered variety, Tom realized a bag of malt here blended with a couple specialty malts there might play well with remnants of five different hops. The result is a very pale ale with fruity, grassy hop aromas playing off the malt nose. Very approachable malt/hop balance and moderate alcohol makes this a very drinkable beer. Hop finish is very flavorful yet not bitter.
