Patina Pale is our flagship hop forward pale ale. We start with a blend of base malts in the mash tun, then add copious amounts of American hops in the kettle followed by even more in the form of dry hopping. The result is a very citrusy, slightly piney ale with a crisp malt background and just enough bitterness to balance it all out.

Sample at the taproom. Hazy bright yellow color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily to a film. Stringy lacing. Aroma of tangerine, grassy hops and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of tropical fruit, grassy hops and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Above average overall.

Pours a slightly hazy, lemon yellow, with smallish head. Aroma of citrus and pine. Flavor is very bitter, almost too much so. Lots of pine and spice, some citrus. Could use a bit of balancing.

Keg at Salvage BBQ - Portland, ME. Pours murky yellow-gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds pithy citrus rind. Light sweet flavour, with bitter lemon rind, flinty minerality, dried biscuits. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Clean finish, moderately dry, more pith. Not bad.

Draught at the brewery, 4/2/16.
Moderate haze, though no cloudiness or soup here. White head atop is large and shows strong retention.
Leafy, vegetal, heavily foresty/woodsy notes in the nose divulge light grapefruit, honey, caramel and orange rind on the finish. Some spicy notes as well, with no alcohol or flaw.
More bitter than expected in the mouth, with grapefruit slowly giving way to biscuity, rather grainy malts. Fortunately the tight carbonation and delicate/dainty honey-like sweetness on the finish keeps it enjoyably textured and drinkable. The bartender at Bissell described their beers as soft and subdued on the end while describing Bissell as more aggressive. Can’t say I agree. This wasn’t messy or anything but was rather dry and very bitter, relative to a lot of the IPAs/pale ales in this "style". Still quite nice, with a woodsy/dank character that seems quite unique.
