Year of New Beer: Hop Odyssey: Cedar Plank Pale Ale, Green Flash Brewing (CA)

Written By: Dion on 10/15/2014

Mild citrus, leafy hops, and light woody tones on the nose. On the tongue, citrus pops with just the right bite of hop bitterness, all backed by a touch of peppery cedar. Whereas the Cigar City Humidor Series IPA overpowered with cedar, this is subtle, and even though it isn't as highly regarded, I found it enjoyable, and an excellent pairing to my spicy food.
