Notes

A sweet and tasty American pale. An excellent example of what Simcoe hops are like when showcased in a single hop beer such as this. 330ml cans suck, although thedesign is cool but it just feels tiny in the hands. Medium body and depth. Tiniest bit of sour or astringency on the back of the tongue but otherwise refreshing and easy drinking.
