Baja Jacket is a refreshing American Pale Ale that artfully incorporates a Mexican-inspired malt character. The use of flaked maize creates a lean, exceptionally crisp foundation, allowing a bright hop profile to take center stage. Expect a bouquet dominated by citrus zest and light pine, underscored by a subtle, grainy sweetness reminiscent of corn tortillas. This pale golden ale delivers a firm yet approachable bitterness that snaps on the tongue, followed by a clean, dry finish. It is an expertly balanced, drinkable beer that marries the hop-forward intensity of a classic craft ale with the high-refreshment qualities of a premium lager.
