The American micro breweries serve up another Pale Ale, and this one comes from Oregon. The story goes that the brewery is a stones throw from 'Mirror Pond' which sits belows the Three Sisters mountain range. A reflection of the mountainside is permanently stamped on the surface of the water, and hence the name 'Mirror Pond'.
It's a slightly spiced fruity style Pale Ale that pinches some Amber characteristics, with a caramely vein of flavour through the body. And as an American Pale Ale usually does, it goes out with a bitter bang.
Top drop really. I've never really been much of a fisherman, but I imagine a day spent out in a tinnie on the Pond knocking back a few of these and shooting the shit with an old friend is probably a good way to spend your time. Even if you didn't get a bite.
7/10
