Draft at ChurchKey poured into a tasting snifter. Pours an amber color with a bit of off-white head. Not really much lacing if any. Aromas of floral notes, light citrus, light hops. Tasting notes of floral notes, citrus, toast, floral hops. Medium-light body with a dry finish. Medium carbonation. I’d like a bit more to the body/mouthfeel but still a solid pale ale.
