FROM THE LABEL: "Handcrafted in the heart of Humboldt."
FROM THE LABEL: EXTRA PALE ALE: Pours a gorgeous clear, golden color with a white, bubbly head that attenuates ( isn't that a fun word I found!)
to a thin cap. Smells like.....or bouquet.... in beer language.... is characterized by light notes of
orange peel and grapefruit, very unique and more grapefruit than orange. This beer has an almost perfect mouthfeel in that it
balances a heavier slickness with a mild scrubbing on the back of the tongue.
Sweet grapefruit and lemon balanced by just the mildest tart citrus at the
finish make this a very pleasant drinker. Fell in love on the first sip!A+
FROM THE BAR: Huckleberries
A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who
is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible
to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
