Overtone Pale Ale
Overtone hits you with that classic Pacific Northwest energy—bright citrus, a whisper of pine, clean malt backbone that doesn't get in the way. It's unpretentious and confident, the kind of pale ale that tastes like the brewer knows exactly what they're doing and isn't trying to overcomplicate it. Drinks easy, finishes dry.
Pasteur Street Cyclo Pale Ale
Pasteur Street's Cyclo has a wandering quality—there's citrus, sure, but it takes a detour through herbal and slightly floral territory. The hop character feels less obvious, more integrated with the grain bill. It's a pale ale that makes you pause between sips, which isn't always what you want, but when you do want it, it's there.
