A soft carbonation and a light caramel finish make Lighthouse Ale easy to drink, yet it has the toasty round body of a classic American Ale to give it real substance. It's a beer for all seasons, all foods and all friends. Or as we like to say, the kind of beer you want to have a beer with.

Player Stats: Derived from the traditional English style bitter, this is a classic American pale ale. A three malt blend provides a medium bodied ale that is balanced with Northern Brewer and Cascade hops from Washington’s Yakima Valley, giving it a distinctive hop bitterness and aroma. The result is a light-colored brew, firm in both malt and hop presence. The term "pale" was derived due to the beer’s pale color compared to porters and stouts of the 18th Century.
