On tap at Ambulance Brew House, delicate sunny day offering totally defines efficient California-styled pale ale style.

On tap at Ambulance, mighty pale ale may be mistaken for hop-headed IPA in the wink of an eye. Mouth-drenching pine needling and zesty yellow grapefruit rind bittering are the product of a sticky Mosaic/ Calypso hop pungency that brings bark-dried wood tones to the fore as well. Orange rind, lemon peel, and passion fruit illusions backup massive grapefruit contingent. Sugar-spiced spruce sweetness perfectly contrasts brash piney citrus bitterness and slight turpentine-like ethanol burn.
