Red Seal Pale Ale from North Coast Brewing

The weather's getting warmer and pale ale is in season! Brewers of one of my all-time favorites, Rasputin Imperial Stout, Red Seal is a spicy pale ale, plenty of hops balanced by rich maltiness. The color a deep, rich coppery amber, reminds one that a pale ale doesn't have to be pale in hue. Not much of a head, but big on flavor...and did I mention hops? I'm going to have to try some more of these babies.
