Whale's Tale Pale Ale, Cisco Brewers, Nantucket, MA

The Whale's Tale Pale Ale is not as strong as the pale ales I have tried lately. The ale is less malty than what I am used to in a pale ale. Instead the beer has a unique tartness. The hops arrive fashionably late and provide an acute bitterness. The beer has 5.6% ABV. The Whale's Tale Pale Ale rates in at a 3.0, which could be a slight reach for this beer.
