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...

~Pours a light clear amber color with big white head. ~Strong aroma of sticky sweet grapefruity hops. Malts are present but dominated by hops. ~Bittersweet hop flavor, grapefruit, pine, and grass. Some malt backbone. Again dominated by hops. ~Medium feel, medium carbonation, very bitter finish. ~Good thing I like hops. A bit overkill for a pale ale. Taste like a IPA to me. Still good. When I am looking for a pale ale I expect something a bit more mellow on the bitterness.

12oz bottle from some random grocery store in asheville, n.c. - clear orange gold pour with a thin white head and some spotty lacing. aroma is pine sap with a touch of citrus. taste is a steady march of hops that accelerate into a full bitter sprint. I think there was some honey and grapefruit in there somewhere - but gets trampled by the bitterness.

Pours a murky orange with a foamy head - aroma of citrus, hops, malt and pine. Taste was extreme grapefruit - actually tasted like grapefruit juice with some beer splashed in - and some hops and pine for good measure. I actually enjoyed this refreshing brew quite a bit.

Grainy cereal malt backbone. Some light caramel sweetness and earthy character. Nice citrus and grassy hop presence. Great session brew.
