It goes down easy but the lemon dominates after a while

Overall Score: 8.2

Value: 9
Cost/12 oz serving: $1.67

Overall Impression:
This is a tasty Saison and very sessionable if you like the style. The lemon gets to me after a few so it's not a beer I would drink all day. It would pair nice with seafood or sushi because of the lemon notes. Recommended.

Review: Flying Fish Extra Pale Ale

ABV: 5.2%

Look: 9
Golden color, thick white head, thick and sticky lacing

Smell: 8
Grass, biscuit, malt

Taste: 8
Cracker, grass, caramel

Mouthfeel: 7
Light and dry with medium carbonation

Drinkability: 8
Very light in body and taste for a Pale Ale, but that's good if you want to session.

Overall Score: 8

Value: 9
Cost/12 oz serving: $1.50

Overall Impression:
This is my least favorite brew from Flying Fish. I'm not a huge Pale Ale fan to begin with and this was a little too light for my taste. It was balanced so it is a great beer for a newbie craft beer drinker to start with.
