Cedar Plank Pale Ale

Cedar Plank, Green Flash Brewing Company, San Diego, CA
(American Pale Ale, Rated 91)

This hoppy pale ale pours a hazy, orange with a light, foamy, white head. Pungent aromas of malt, cedar chips, and piney hop resin. Taste is sweet, fruity hops, orange citrus, wooody from the cedar, and a good bitter finish. The cedar adds a nice spicy, peppery hint.
