Flight 2/3. All three beers are translucent amber. If any difference can be detected, #2 may be marginally paler. That's what it looks like. Even the heads look equal: dense moussy creamy, one finger and then a neat lace ring. Equally subdued fragrance here, as well, but more citrus though. Grapefruit peel and zest moderately. Tastewise, this is straightforward and ungimmicky. Tangerine and orange take the lead, followed by grapefruit peel and a drop of resin. A malty backbone can also be identified. The body beats that of beer #1: it's light-medium to medium, yet the ABV is significantly lower. Points for it! The mouthfeel is medium, zesty, a tad crisp, refreshing, clean and balanced. Slightly dry and drying, too.

Great Pale Ale, bonus points for reference to the DC Punk Rock scene of the mid-80s. Very drinkable, lots of citrus, a little malt, bitterness throughout and carrying after, but not offensive. A bit of lemon-peel on the finish.
