A very nice version of the style that pours a lovely amber, copper color with a huge cream-colored head and fine bubbles that last forever. There is a big citrusy floral hop aroma with hints of toasty caramel malts and pleasant pear and apricot-like fermentation esters that all follow through into the flavor as well. The finish is punctuated by hop bitterness, yet there is plenty of malt present to back it up -- giving just a slightly sweeter finish than many pale ales. A very pleasant and enjoyable beer.
