COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This amber colored pale ale will quench your thirst. It's smooth mild taste makes it Back Road Brewery's flagship beer. A generous dosing of fresh English hops nicely balances the beer's maltiness. A technique called dry hopping is used to add a fresh herbal like aroma. Drink and enjoy LaPorte's first hand crafted beer!!

Amber, some head and lacing. Taste of malted grain w/caramel. Light bitter finish that lingers. Overall, needs to be a little lighter for the amount of flavor.
