Pale Ale brewed with Pilsner, Vienna, and flaked oats, ridden hard with Citra and Mosaic hops, touching on a bunch of mod slants on packing hop luster.

This is a nice pale ale. Pine and citrus hop aromas and flavors combine with bready, slightly caramelly malt. Moderately bitter. Goes down easy.

Draught @ Replay, Lakewood NJ which has since closed down. Clear rich amber with a small foamy light beige head, faint caramel malt aroma, medium carbonation, mildly sweet caramel malt - faintly piney taste, thin smooth body, long lightly piney finish. Nice smooth pale ale.

Nice crusher and flavorful pale. Tropical fruit, hoppy, light. Speaking of light, watching Sunderland/Sheffield Wednesday from the Stadium of Light. Also, birds aren’t real.
