Traditional Pale Ale is Nirvana's take on the British session ale format: Maris Otter and Amber malts for a light amber colour and a biscuity, caramel malt backbone, with earthy hops providing balance rather than front-of-palate bitterness. The aroma is light caramel malt and soft biscuit, with earthy hops underneath. On the palate it is malt-forward with a clean hop presence, neither sweet enough to feel cloying nor bitter enough to push anyone away. The mouthfeel is fuller than you might expect from a 0.0% beer. The finish is crisp and balanced, fading with gentle hop bitterness. At around 49 calories per serving it sits on the lower end for a pale ale. Vegan-friendly.
