Eastlake Dave's Fave Flav Old School Pale Ale

Eastlake Dave's Fave Flav Old School Pale Ale. 5.2 % ABV.
Eastlake Craft Brewery, Midtown Global Market, Minneapolis, MN.

Clear, amber-hued, slim white head.

In the nose: bright, fruity, citrus-y, vibrant.

In the mouth: Fresh and zesty. Nice, balanced bitterness. Earthy malt character, fruity/herbal, biscuity. Little bit of malt sweetness to match the hoppiness. Right in line for a classic pale ale, nothing more to it. And there ain't nothing wrong with that.


Dave is a Brave knave and he'll crave his fave flav in a heat wave. We caved and gave that flav a home in our little enclave. It was a close shave. A classic Old School Pale Ale. engraved with that timeless sticky, floral, grapefruit and pine hop character that makes Dave rave.
