Had on-tap at brewery.

Another great session beer.

Had a light-bronze appearance with an off-white head. Smelled mostly of strong citrus notes, especially the grapefruit. Wasn't too bitter with the 30 IBU, but lingered at the end. Nice carbonation and another that would go well with any burger and fries, or perfectly by itself.

Serving type: on-tap

The Rusty Rail at Willoughby Brewing is a solid Pale Ale. The beer poured clear copper amber with thin white head that laced. The smell included citrus hop and subtle malt balance. The taste had pine and citrus with a semi sweet malt character. The mouthfeel was medium to light body and good carbonation, Overall, a decent Pale Ale that could easily be sessioned.

I had this beer on tap at the brewpub served in a snifter glass.

A: Reddish/Llightly Briwn Hue, Passes Through Some Light, Thick White Head, Good Lacing

S: Citrus, Mild Resin, Mild Malts

T: Piney, Resin, Malty Finish

M: Good Carbonation, Medium Bodied, Dry, Bitter

Overall, a really good Pale Ale that teeters on the IPA boundaries but maintains a good balance with the malt flavors on the back end.
