This beer greets the drinker with a moderate, floral hop aroma with citrus and dank notes slipping in behind.  A light bready maltiness shines through as it warms along with a very light caramel character. The hops turn more citrusy in the flavor, primarily with a lemony note alongside light tropical fruit. A medium-light, bready malt character with a suggestion of caramel rounds out the flavor, along with a low hop bitterness that helps balance the residual sweetness from the malt. The fermentation character is fairly clean and neutral, and the beer pours a light amber with a long-lasting head and nearly opaque clarity. This is a pleasant Pale Ale that would be enjoyable all year.
