Time to find out. First sip brings a somewhat sweet malt wit a bit of hops on the heels of a bit of fruit and citrus. It's a bit of a sharp taste, but it's pretty good. It's an interesting mix that lends itself well to drinking on the patio with a bit of sun falling down and a puppy scurrying in the yard. Whoa. Did I just lapse into something there? I'm going to grab a big swig, and I expect you people to be there when I get back. Don't go sit on your patio unless you have a laptop and a wireless connection so you can keep reading.
It brightens the beverage up to drink it more quickly. The malt is more prevalent, which really still seems odd to me. I expect an ale to be steeped in hops, but this is still a very good beer. The malt is simple and very good. The finish improves with a larger draught, and the hops add a very nice twinge to the whole thing.
Maybe I will sit on the patio and drink a few more. It's a nice night, and I have a couple of pups that like to sniff the yard.
