   Thousand Islands poured a clear, dark yellow color with a finger width white head.  The aroma was clean, with a distinct hoppiness, light malt, caramelized sugar, and faint hints of alcohol.  The body is crisp with a decent amount of malts and a tiny amount of sweetness up front.  A blast of sharp hops come in during the middle and leads to a hoppy finish that leaves a lingering dryness on the tongue.  Overall, this is a very nice pale ale.  There is some hanging lace left on the glass.  The aroma is really nice, the body is flavorful and balanced and the finish works well. 

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
