Pale Ale

Brewery: Founders Brewing Co.
Supplier: Beers of Europe

This Dry-hopped pale ale is made with predominantly Cascade hops and available from founders year-round. Served straight from the fridge.
Appearance: Very cloudy and with a fiery red body. Very little to no head. 
Aroma: Smells very fresh and like peach skin. A hint of malt right on the end mix with a bit of musky apple smell.
Flavour: Not much on the front and then a quick hit of a unripe, but quite pleasant, fruit bitterness at the ends. When this warms up a bit more of the malty taste comes out and complements the other flavours. Not much of the Cascade notes coming through though. 
Body: Nice light body that doesn't feel too thin and with a nice amount of fizz.
Aftertaste: Similar to the taste but with some caramel sweetness coming through. 

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 4, and I would definitely advise serving it just slightly below room temperature.

Price Range: £2.19 for a 355ml bottle, a bit too much for what it is especially as the All Day IPA is cheaper and better.

Food Pairings: A good pairing would be with breaded lemon chicken.
