Draft pour at Maelstrom. I remember trying this in opening weekend, listed simply as Pale Ale. My very simplistic notes suggested maybe this pale was an English Pale. I guess I was right! That makes it about 3% of the time...? I'll take it. Clean, golden orange pour. Ton of foam head that lasts. Hop forward aroma, but very light. Flavor is a dusty malt, bready. Semi bitter hop impressions follow. Cool and refreshing. I enjoy this version more so than the west coast, much to my surprise. Great flavor. Solid pale here.
