Kirkland Pale Ale

      Kirkland is the house brand for Costco, and their stuff tends to be pretty decent.  There's strong caramels and crisp hop on the nose and it pours a surprisingly dark amber.  This has a lot of hop up front.  There are some caramels and herbal flavors but the hop overwhelms a bit.  It's crisp and somewhat drinkable, however I wish there was some more sweetness to balance out the bitter.  This is not a winner in my book.  If you forced me at gun point to drink ten I could probably do it. But I'm not going out to buy any.
