Day 15 - Steelhead Extra Pale Ale

Today being Valentines Day, what better way to celebrate my true love than to drink a beer named after a fish. (ssshhh, no one tell Ellie I said that.... :>) )

I guess that "extra pale" means it is just a handful of extra hops past a lager, as this one is rather mild and golden yellow, with only a dash of the dry finish one would expect. Another very easy to drink brew, good for any season, but it doesn't take any risks. Sure, if someone gave me a 6 pack I'd drink it, but not feel particularly sad when it was gone. A good choice for someone who wants to look like they run the fringe of beer drinking, without really straying too far from mainstream flavor.

Thanks to Uncle Bill for this one. He did a very good job of picking beers that I have never had before, and I look forward to the others!
