Simple Things Pale Ale
The core pale ale, grown out of the brewery's very first release. It pours a hazy golden straw with a lasting head of white foam. Three European hop varieties shape the aroma: berries, pink grapefruit, tinned fruit salad, strawberry ice cream and orange pith. On the palate it is smooth, with a tangy gooseberry and white-wine edge and a hint of tangerine. Bitterness is moderate, the finish crisp and dry. Oats and wheat round out the body, and the carbonation comes from natural refermentation.
