Impression: I’d not had this one before and hadn’t had a Pale Ale in quite a long time so I enjoyed it despite a less than clean glass. I didn’t see a mention of nitro but it sure had that kind of smoothness. It’s very much in the American Craft Beer mold but lacks the full-on citrusy element. There’s still a nagging if slight bitterness but overall a nice enough interpretation of the style and easy enough to drink at 5.2%.
