Day 40 - Drifter Pale Ale

Sniff, sniff, this is the last of the Uncle Bill contributions, and it was an excellent run of ales.

This one is actually pleasingly different. A redish amber color, and a sweeter flavor underlying the dry hops. Very refreshing, though maybe a good first beer for the flavor, then switch to other less complex beers for additional consumption purposes. This could be too sweet for the purest hops-head, and like, I don't necessarily want to be distracted by my beer trying to figure it out all the time....

Specs:
Full Name: The Original Drifter Pale Ale
Brewed by: Widmer Brothers Brewing Co
From: Portland, OR
ABV: 5.7%
Ok, not the highest ABV for an ale, but also not the 3.8% of last nights brew, which a fraternity brother commmented as what he might drink to sober up... (he didn't earn the nickname "Beerman" for nothing... ;>) )
Favs still the same: Lion, Singha, Hopitical
