Resonator

Tap to rate

Resonator is a hazy pale ale in the New England style and the easy-drinking beer of Overtone's core range. Citra, Mosaic and Strata provide the hopping. Bright citrus sets the tone from the first sip, the body is soft and well balanced, and the finish is crisp yet bold. Unfiltered and unfined, it pours cloudy and vivid in colour, and at 4.5% it stays light without losing its fruit.
