A nice Ale from SKA, very easy to drink a welcome break from the dark beers of winter.

Pours a dark orange with thick white head that laces and sticks around for a bit.

Hints of creamy, caramel malt with big pine hops fill the nose with a little grassy note at the end.

Tastes of bread malt up front and pine/spice hop, earthy, and slightly nutty. Some lingering pine, resinous hop character.

Lighter to medium body with lower carbonation work well.

This is a fantastic almost English-style pale ale that balances biscuit and pine hops character. Easy to drink and satisfying.

Served in a can is great makes this beer great for the river and to take along.
