SweetWater 420 Extra Pale Ale
(4.0 stars)

Sweetwater Brewing Company
Atlanta, GA
SweetWater 420 Extra Pale Ale
420 Extra Pale Ale was first brewed on April 20, 1997, hence the name… We'd bet a nickel and dime that's not the complete reason behind the name, but we can't confirm. We can, however, provide you with a nugget of trivia to impress your friends: the brewery was named after a local creek. This particular beer is a lighter-bodied West Coast style pale ale with aggressive hop character in the aroma, flavor and finish. Look for piney, resinous, grapefruit notes, flourishes of sweet peach and a hint of hop spiciness. A solid malt backbone balances the hops, but gives them the final word with a crisp, bitter finish. A 2002 Silver Medal winner at the GABF, and great with lobster, mussels or clams.
