Draft at RB. Here I’d thought this was a Belgian, like Pete’s Blitzen at the Chicago RB. But noooooo. Definitely an American Pale Ale. Served in a goblet at cellar temperature, yay! Smells mostly of sweet malts with a bit of alcohol. Light amber color, with a thin "crust" of foam. A very strong APA taste with a good hop head, strong bitterness with just a bit of support from pine and citrus. Good alcohol warmth.
