Pine Trail positions itself as a west coast American pale ale, and the hop selection backs that up. Magnum provides the backbone bitterness, Mosaic and Amarillo the aroma: you get floral notes immediately on the pour, with a light citrus quality that leans limey rather than tropical. The malt character is present but restrained, keeping the bitterness in the foreground as the dominant note. The finish is dry and the bitterness lingers in a way that feels purposeful. It's not complex, but it's well-executed for the style. At 0.5% ABV with 61 kcal per 330ml, it's gluten-free and sits comfortably in Big Drop's mid-range. A decent everyday pale ale for anyone who wants something hop-forward.
