This beer pours a brilliantly clear dark blonde. It's very effervescent, and the bubbles go on and on and on. I get light bread in the nose up front, which is quickly overwhelmed by a grapefruit rind hop with notes of sawgrass and sage behind it. It's a really interesting aroma. The beer starts in the mouth with a light malt flavor: clean and bready, with no real esters to speak of. There's a very delicate hop to balance. It has a slight sourness, not puckering, it just adds to the sharpness and refreshing quality. The backend has a nice delicate bitternes -- almost peppery -- that cleanses the palate for the next sip.
It's very refreshing and light-bodied. To call it a lawnmower beer would be a disservice, as it's way too interesting, but it's definitely sessionable. Bready with a wonderfully peppery hop balance, this surprisingly light and drinkable Pale Ale is well worth a try.
