Aroma: “Light bread-like malt sweetness. It’s fun to tease the hops out of this one: fruity hops with light tropical and a touch of earthy; light spicy hops; grassy, pine hops with a faint floral backing; citrus (orange mostly); some catty notes. Clean and delicate.”

Flavor: “Very balanced. Pine hops give a Christmas tree welcome. Citrus hops flavor tends toward grapefruit. The bready malt helps you relax, and the bitterness is restrained. A touch heavier body than other examples with a moderate carbonation level. Finishes with bitterness and a light hops spiciness.”

Overall: “A touch bigger body with a nice fruity hops profile. Very pleasant. A good pale ale. It’s well-done and balanced.”
