Mirror Pond Pale Ale has four different hop additions along with the all-important dry hopping. What separates this pale ale, though, is balance. Most folks just heap on the hops and call it a day.

Received the Gold Medal, Classic English-Style Pale Ale, in 2010 from the Great American Beer Festival.
