Against the Grain’s answer to light beers. This session style IPA is all about the hops, but not about the bitterness. We started with the malt base of pale ale, Vienna and wheat, then American hops were employed only late in the boil and post fermentation. The result is a pleasant hop aroma and flavor without the drying bitterness and alcohol.

Draft. A slightly hazy dark golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of citrusy hops, fruits, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of hay, citrusy hops, fruit, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.

Christian Firtal Pale Ale Festival 2012 - Day One. Hazy golden with a lasting white head. Faint malty aroma with herbal and citrus hops. Sweetish malty flavour with a touch of diacetyl, grassy malt and solid bitterness. Just a little too bitter for the weak body.

Tap. Citrus peel and nice orange malt aroma. Golden yellow color with moderate head. Sweet strong barley malt (wort) flavor with moderately bitter orange peel hops flavor. Love the malt in this.
