KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid...and you hit it on the head! I like that there's no 60min. hop addition. For a pale ale, that's relatively unheard of. Excellent.

It's an awesome beer. It has a nice balance of malt and hops. I will be making this again for sure

What where AA% of the hops? Sounds good, but maybe too sweet for me.

Had to have another with the wifey. Sorry stupid iPad turned the picture sideways lol

Cascade 6.4% AA Glacier 5.6% AA

It's not really sweet. You get the nice caramel tones and the hops follow. easy beer to drink.
