Lagunitas New Dogtown Pale Ale

Style: pale ale
Alc./Vol.: 6.1%
Rating: 3.8/5.0

This beer pours a clear brassy color topped with a short white head. Smells of fresh hops and a hint of apple. Lots of carbonation here… almost has a champagne-like appearance and mouth-feel. Each sip begins bright and bouncy, followed by a surge of sweetness and tailing with a dry finish. This is a mighty pale ale – some might mistake it for an IPA with its medium body, but it’s not exactly ultra-hoppy. This would make for a great summer beer – light enough that you can have a couple at a cookout, but possessing the character and depth of a stronger IPA. Another great Californian ale!
