Hargrave's Hill Pale Ale

Following on from the summer style 4 Pines Kolsh, I turned the tables by sampling this ale which is more of a wintery affair.

Cloudy as the future of America's economy, Hargrave's Hill's version of a pale ale is something of an engima. It is unbalanced in it's attempt to be balanced. There is nothing outstanding about it's flavours, there's some malt, some hops, a sharp and bitter finish...but nothing is the dominant trait. So rather than be 'balanced' it feels more like you are missing out.

This is a strange beast, it's a decent beer, it's far from bad... but I just don't really want another one. It has nothing to hang it's hat on. It's a slightly above average beer if I am to cast a broad net.
