Enville American Pale Ale

Tap to rate

Citrusy hops carry aroma and taste in a pale, creamy, smooth session beer that comes across fully flavoured and refreshing. Cascade, Citra and Chinook go in late to lift the aroma, three hops the brewery counts among America's finest. At 4.3% ABV it is a regular, and on the brewery's own scale it scores 4 of 5 for hops, the highest in the range.
