Our Tastes-- Backfin Pale Ale


Another of the legs from the DC trip, Backfin is regarded as "Maryland's premium pale ale"made by Clay Pipe Brewing Company. A standard pale ale head and aromas with amber/brown color. Made with 2-row malted barley, 20L and 60L Crystal malts balanced with American, English and Czech hops to yield a 5.5%abv nice brew. I personally just like the logo of the crab crawling through sea oats on a Sunday morning as though he had to much bevvy the Saturday night before on the beach too.
