Commercial Description:
A classic English Pale Ale dominated by pleasant hop bitterness and aroma. Dry hops impart unique aromas and flavors that add to the complexity of this ale. Our Pick Axe uses a blend of hopping: British Columbia Bramling, Czech Saaz, and British East Kent Goldings which melds into an award winning flavor. 1997 & 2000 Great American Beer Festival Silver Medal Winner

(12oz bottle, bottled July 06) Small beige head atop lightly hazed amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, orange/grapefruit, bread. Taste is medium sweet, pine/grapefruit, caramel/cookie. Medium body, some resin. More bitter than expected for an EPA, but no complaints.
