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...

Location/Date:Bottle on February 2nd, 2012.

Appearance: Pours a dark copper clear.
Aroma:Aroma is very high in resiny hops, some grass. Strong for a pale ale.
Taste: Just like the nose, more bitterness than average APA, whic I like.
Palate:Lighter body, slick, lingering aftertaste.

Summary: An APA that is JUST below being an IPA, I really enjoy this beer.

StefanSD (1539) - Lakeside, California, USA - JAN 12, 2012
12 oz bottle. Pours a translucent brass color with a smallish white head that has fair retention. The aroma is weak and undistinguished with barley malts, or perhaps this cold I have is messing with my sense of smell. The flavor is hops forward with spicy hops set in a neutral barley malt base. The palate is full ans smooth with lively carbonation. Finishes long and dry with lingering piney bitter hops. Overall: A nice little APA, compares to SNPA.
