The Pale 31 pours a light color with no head and is reminiscent of apple cider in appearance. The beer gives a crisp hoppy aroma. The smell is nice and simple, nothing too complex.

The beer doesn’t stand out too much in any single way but still a good beer to throw back on a hot day or as a gift to someone who is curious about the beer world! If you are just stepping out of the mass produced beers and into the craft beer scene, this would be a great beer to start with. Take your time with bitter beers since they can take some getting used to…
