COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This West Coast classic pale ale is refreshingly drinkable. A pleasant malt profile gives way to an assertive fresh hop flavor, with a dry citrus hop aroma and orangey fruitiness in the finish.

Slightly hazy gold, light head. Aroma is sweetish - peachy, orange flesh hops. Sweetish, tangerine flavor, nutty malts, not too overladen with caramel malts. Finish is balanced to the sweeter sie, making it quite drinkable. Creamy finish.

GG (1980) - NorCal, California, USA - JAN 6, 2010
A very solid, highly drinkable pale ale that rivals the consumeability of SNPA. Aroma is sweet orange rhinds, bready malts with a bit of cookie. Flavor has a fantastic balance of hops and malts, bready/cookie like malts and citrusy/orange hops. Really nice.
