beer_name: Crosscut Pale Ale
text: 12 oz. bottle (via trade) into a standard pint glass. Poured a cloudy dark orange with a inch head that settled to a frothy coating with good staying power. Nose is faint citrus, some floral hops and caramel malt. Taste is some bitter grapefruit, bready notes, and floral hops but heavy entrance of lemon and the caramel and very sweet malts. There is some bitterness in the finish but the sweetness is the over-riding impression it leaves. Body is light with medium carbonation. This was a decent offering, kinda; unique American Pale Ale, but nothing I would go out of my way to retry.
