Sharp citrus candy and fresh creamy dairy make for an appealing nose here, a nose made all the better by the cooling flavors of freshly washed salad and sliced green apple - all present on first thirst satiating sip. The bittering warmth of dark candied fruit peel and rich green olives bookends the drink and provides a very nice contrasty finish. This is a quaffable, balanced and busy pale ale.
