Belgian-Style Pale Ale
A pale-gold hued ale, fermented with a Belgian yeast strain, resulting in a beer that has notes of lemon citrus from the hops, and black pepper spice from the yeast, with a dry “tingly” finish.
Admin Note: Retired in 2019, but appears on draft occasionally.

On tap at Dry Hop. It poured a clear light copper. Light malty bitter aroma, the flavor is malty, light spices and quite tasty. Once it warmed up you got more zesty saison like flavors - solid.
