Inspired by the drive south from the cascade mountains in Oregon down to the quirky city of Bend, this Pale Ale uses a combination of Talus, Citra and Columbus hops for notes of pink grapefruit, tangerine, pine sap and tropical stone fruits. Brewed in our house style, this beer is crisp and dry with a refined bitterness.

Can bought at the brewery. Aroma combines light sweet fruit with a bitter resinous streak. Clear copper gold. Thin foamy translucent white head. Bitter. Resinous. Big chewy underlying malts. There's some low key peripheral fruitiness. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish.

Can at home in Hackney - sourced from Elusive online. Pours clear, pale gold with a frothy, pure white head. Light sweet flavour with notes of mellow pine, subtly ripened citrus fruits, pale bread, mild bitterness. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with subdued piney resin, pale bread, accents of melon and peach, rindy citrus. Very enjoyable and well rounded.
