Sweetwater 420 Extra Pale Ale
A: Pours a perfectly translucent deep golden, capped by a finger and a half of frothy white head. Retention is moderate as it slowly recedes to a thin layer of foam, leaving moderate lacing down the glass. S: Moderate citrus and pine hops up front with some light floral character as well. Biscuity malt backbone, but aroma is pretty subdued as a whole. T: Citrus and floral hops up front balanced by some caramel sweetness on the mid-palate. Hops return near the backend with an earthy character and stick through the finish. M: Medium bodied with a smooth, low to moderate carbonation. D: Very drinkable but somewhat lacking in interesting characteristics.
