Our take on the classic British Ale. Beautifully hoppy on the back of both Pale and Crystal malts with a beautiful copper hue and a sweet long finish. Using US Citra hops as the main hop, it features tastes of grapefruit, lime, passion fruit, and lychee. You may even be able to pick out hints of melon and gooseberry. A clean and crisp Pale Ale with a lot of late edition hops and a flavor that will dance on your tongue.

Also pairs with roast meats and dark desserts.
