The Acme California Pale Ale from North Coast Brewing Company in Fort Bragg, California pours out an amber-gold in color with nice clarity and a two finger, egg-shell white head that sticks around for a short while. On the nose aromas of citrus, floral hops and light caramel. Flavors of honey sweetened grain that is slightly bready, citrus rind and a little spice. Light side of medium bodied. Well carbonated. Moderate lacing. Fairly clean mouthfeel with just a touch of oil. The finish is honeyed and citrus with a decent hop bite. A very good pale ale that I thoroughly enjoyed.

12 ounce bottle, 5.00% ABV
