Pale Ale
A year-round beer that Four Winds describes explicitly as a modern West Coast reading rather than an English classic. At 5% and 30 IBU the bitterness stays moderate for the style, with the hops working through aroma more than through weight. The brewery lists restrained malt, citrus and resin, a balanced bitterness and light tropical notes. It is sold in 355 ml six-packs.
