This is about as straightforward as an American Pale Ale can get.
Light brown color with a mellow, citrus hop aroma. At first sniff, this beer seems like it might be a bit intimidating in terms of hop bitterness, but this doggie's bark is bigger than its bite (Yeah, overused cliche!). The hops are certainly prevalent in the taste and body, but this beer is balanced fairly well with some sweetness from the malts. No other fancy additives or quirky mix-ins. The finish is fairly pleasant, but it does sit a little heavy in the stomach, which will certainly give you a bit of pause before you think to take that second swig. Overall, I'd recommend picking up a 6-er, especially since its a paltry $5.99 at my local Whole Foods on the way home from work. But it's not necessarily a beer I'd go running out to tell everyone to try.
