Certified Extra Pale Ale
Appearance: Pours a hazy golden color with a bountiful head that creates a meringue that laces the glass Smell: Modest aroma but there is some fruit (apricot) and pine along with a vague caramel sensation Taste: Starts out a bit biscuity with a tinge of bitter fruit; after the swallow, their is a grassy and piney bitterness that becomes harsh and slightly resinous Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate to high carbonation; the harsh finish detracts from the mouthfeel Drinkability: Compared to the other Eel River beers I have enjoyed, this one is a bit of a disappointment
