Commercial Description:
This amber colored pale ale will quench your thirst. It's smooth mild taste makes it Back Road Brewery's flagship beer. A generous dosing of fresh English hops nicely balances the beer's maltiness. A technique called dry hopping is used to add a fresh herbal like aroma. Drink and enjoy LaPorte's first hand crafted beer!!

tap at the brewery - Pours light amber and has a mild caramel malt aroma. Moderately strong hops and subdued caramel malt compose the flavor that leads into a bitter finish. It’s light bodied and could probably use substantial malt.

Sampled on tap at the brewery. Pours a orange yellow with a thin white head. Pale malts, touch of piney hops in the nose. The malts are more grainy in the flavor. Touch of pine, but pretty middle of the road. Drinkable though.
