Not Quite Pale Ale #9

this is a phenomenal offering from the Magic Hat brewing co. The offering is not quite pale ale #9 and it is just that. This beer has ale like qualities like the bitter hops taste, but it also has a sweet ending nodes as well, in addition to that, you might also detect a hint of grapefruit as well. However, the bitter comes back after you finish the drink and it is this quality that makes this beer an exquisite when it comes to matching it with food. I have found that it is hard to find a food that this beer does not go well with. Some of my flavors were tie food, and pizza, the beer just goes so well with the spice from the tie and the robust flavors of the tomato sauce. However, it does lose some points in that I have deemed this beer best as a food beer and not both a food and drink beer which is sad because I would have loved to put this one in the running for beer of the year, which is coming up soon so stay tuned.
