Picnic Rock Pale

Horse & Dragon

American Pale Ale | 5.4% ABV

Description

In the scenic Poudre Canyon alongside the wild Cache la Poudre River, Picnic Rock is a favored stop for fishing, kayaking, climbing, and friends. Picnic Rock Pale Ale aligns itself with recreation in Colorado and our noticeable desire for great craft beer. Fresh hops aromas likened to lemon, pineapple, and honeydew melon stand out in front of this golden colored ale holding a white lace head. The aroma taking center stage is then carried into the noticeable hop bitterness. Malt body is medium- light and compliments the bitterness allowing for a smooth finish with a light floral hop linger. Let’s go for a Picnic!
