We used four different varieties of hops to give RoughTail Pale Ale a tropical fruit and citrus flavor indicative of a West Coast style Pale Ale.

Our Thoughts
Today we have "Pale Ale" which is a American-Style Pale Ale that could be compared to a Average Stout. This beer sits with an ABV value of 5.5. This is for the fans of bitter beers. It's flavor is just less then a typical IPA. Grab a pint of this and take it nice and slow!
American-Style Pale Ale
American pale ales range from deep golden to copper in color. The style is characterized by fruity, floral and citrus-like American-variety hop character producing medium to medium-high hop bitterness, flavor, and aroma. Note that the traditional style of this beer has its origins with certain floral, fruity, citrus-like, piney, resinous, or sulfur-like American hop varietals. One or more of these hop characters is the perceived end, but the perceived hop characters may be a result of the skillful use of hops of other national origins. American pale ales have medium body and low to medium maltiness. Low caramel character is allowable. Fruity-ester flavor and aroma should be moderate to strong. Diacetyl should be absent or present at very low levels. Chill haze is allowable at cold temperatures.
