TASTING NOTES
Brewed in the classic American Pale Ale style, The Public Pale Ale emits a sweet caramel and heavily floral aroma accented by mild citrus notes introduced by Centennial hops. The first sip of the light amber pour presents a rush of assertive bitterness amid hints of candied orange peel and grapefruit flavors. A firm malt backbone imparts the balancing sweetness in a combination that begs for more.
