Poured from a 32 oz crowler. Aroma is a balanced not of hops and malt. Medium light cracker malt notes with hints of biscuit and caramel. Hints of alcohol. Moderate citrus notes with a grassy, herbal note as well. Pours a rather clear, golden copper color with a large, thick, frothy, white head that recedes to a small film that lingers. Moderate lacing and faint legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with moderate malt notes of cracker and biscuit with light caramel. Moderately strong bitterness that lingers a bit. Hints of alcohol. Moderate citrus and grassy hop notes with lighter earthy, herbal notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a fine west coast style pale ale. The hop profile works well with the malty backbone. This is a pretty crushable, anti-hazy, andti-fruity pale ale.
