no fields to wander in

I thought all the pack was IPAs, but there is a regular pale ale stuck in there.  It's Oso brewing again, so hopes are high, with Nature.  At first I took the yellow parts of the design on the can for orange slices, but they're all hops, so I kind of expect something more on the cold and bitter side than citrusy.  While fruity beers are nice and appetizing, a hot day that crushes your energy down might be better met by a sharp taste that really kicks you in the pants. 

It's another cloudy one, a little surprising to me for a pale ale, but it does seem to be the fashion of the times.  There's a little more sweetness and citrus in the aroma but nothing else very obviously identifiable.  The flavor is a little disappointing actually.  There's a very mild bitter, then a twist of orange, but it's otherwise kind of watery.  Of course, I am used to much stronger flavors these days, so a less jaded palate might find the beer pleasantly bright and refreshing.  It is clean feeling and light, so certainly good for oppressively warm evenings.
