Beer Flash: Smuttynose Brewing Co.'s "Shoals" pale ale

Just a quick beer flash - today I'm drinking a Smuttynose "Shoals" pale ale. It's a 5.6% ABV pale ale, and is in fact the first recipe of beer that Smuttynose ever produced. I grabbed it in a you-mix-six at Harris Teeter. The beer was a straightforward pale ale, hoppy with some nice bread tastes with a crisp malty finish. Good beer, nothing terribly exciting, but tasty nonetheless.

To pair with it, I made a lemon pepper pasta with rosemary garlic butter and tangy sriracha-braised bacon. Bacon makes everything great! The pasta is bright and tangy and sharp, and the bready and hoppiness of the pale ale makes a nice contrast.
