Sligo Bay
Sligo Bay is an American pale ale with a bright golden colour, brewed with a mix of cereals and American hops. The flavour is hop-forward but clearly supported by the malt, so that neither side takes over. The hop aroma stays moderate. At 4.6 % it sits between the brewery's session IPA and its stronger IPAs.
