King Road Brewing Co Pale

In keeping with King Road’s approachable New World leanings, their Pale has beer nudged from a classic American articulation into the tropical realm with some help from Amarillo and Citra hops. A fleeting light caramel malt sweetness is balanced by a moreish bitterness and a dry coda.

Here, pint-sized refreshment is the goal, and if the plan is to spend a lazy afternoon on their expansive brewery lawn, King Road Pale keeps things suitably sessionable.
