Explorer
A blonde ale whose character comes from two American hops, Columbus and Chinook, grown in the Yakima Valley. They give a pronounced grapefruit aroma and a citrus attack on the palate, with a fruity bitterness behind it. Pale ale malt provides a biscuity backbone and keeps the beer light and refreshing.
