Reminiscent of the pale ales of the 1800's - those years of breweries expanding across the continent - the "ales" of North America capture the style of the traditional hoppy English pale ale.
This "Old Country" flavour resisted the dominance of lager beers - particularly in the cooler, less temperate climes - and remained a regional favourite in parts of North America.
This pale ale style should be aromatic and richly hopped. It is, in fact, not traditionally very pale at all, but was once quite a dark brown beer as is this beer.
North American style ales typically display a range of specialty malt flavours and plenty of crisp hop notes.  
This beer is a fine pub pint built upon sweet malts, plenty of aromatics and.thrilling hops.   1047 1047
