COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is not the original Pale Ale as brewed in far away 1993 in the back of the Old House of Richards Building in West Marin hamlet of Forest Knolls right next to little Lagunitas. It is way better. Back then the beer tasted like broccoli and kerosene and the carbonation ate right through and drained your stomach into your gut...

Doofgoblin (127) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - MAY 12, 2013
Strong aroma with this one: lots of piney, grass, weeds, some citrus, and herbal notes. Taste is piney, resin, herbal hops, less citrus, and the malt character is almost completely hidden. Really hoppy. Finish is very crisp and dry. A lot of "west coast" character permeates this brew.

LicoriceKing (28) - DENMARK - MAY 10, 2013
Pale yellow color. Aroma: Pine, grapefruit, pomegranate, orange, caramel and grass. Taste: Pretty sweet and hoppy. Pine and grapefruit are still noticable. Earthy and bread, some orange peel. Nice bitter grapefruity finish. This is a really delicious pale ale and one that you could probably have a couple of outside in the summertime.

Carbonatacion alta, corona de espuma ligera y de poca retención. En boca, cebada (granos), citricoa y qmargor medio. Al paladar tiene una complejidad media, un buen equilibrio entre qmargor de lupulo y sus sabores citricos, agradablev y refrescante. En general es una buena cerveza que aporta un agradable paladar equilibrado y con final refrescante.
