New Belgium Dig Pale Ale


Dig Pale Ale, New Belgium, Spring Seasonal. "Unearth your bottle opener because this Pale ale is something you can Dig. Sorachi Ace hops provides a fresh Spring zing with incredible lemon aroma. Nelson Sauvin is next in line with bursts of passion fruit, mango and peach. American favorite, Cascade, provides notes of grapefruity citrus. Dry, crisp and clean, DIG pale ale plants the welcomed taste of Spring in you r hand." Alc. 5.6% by Vol.

Clear, reddish appearance, short head, slim, but staying, off-white.

Plenty of fruit in the nose, but most of all mild, clean, dry. Citrus notes, peach, pear, apple a little.

Taste: Crisp, clean, little hoppy, lean bodied, This is an intriguing blend of hops, create a refreshing and somehow still complex variety of flavors. All manner of fruit-y sensations, and hoppy delights, kept in a terse, tidy body. Good drinking pale ale, with plenty going on in the mouth. That's what it's all about, isn't it.
Nice choice for a spring seasonal. I'll probably get some more, before it's too late.
