Tap at the brewery. Rating #3. Decent little pale, nice hop presence and drinkable. (2629)

On tap. Pours with a clear golden hued body with a small white head. Aromas are bready, grainy, medium citrus, mild esters, inoffensive, but pretty generic and bland. Flavors are clean, inoffensive, very, very mild citusy character, biscuity grain, graham cracker, light spicy hop. Almost closer to a blond ale than a pale ale at this point. Lively bubbles with a dry finish and a medium-light body.

Pours a clear golden orange color with a white head. Fairly sweet aroma, mostly of citrus. Some bread, apple, and a light celery note. Some floral, pine, and grass notes, too. The flavor is somewhat sweet. Bread and citrus flavors, a mild bitterness of pine, some grass, and a light apple ester quality.
