Common Sense
A classic light-coloured American pale ale with a citrus-and-resin profile, tropical fruit notes and a dash of spice in the background. Columbus, Simcoe, Amarillo and Ekuanot supply the hops, while Extra Pale Maris Otter joins pale ale and caramel malts in the grist. The brewery's own line is simply: a classic pale APA.
