Though I did enjoy the light, crisp, and citrusy aroma of this beer, I much preferred my original Grapefruit Ale 1.0 recipe. The decrease in hop usage made a huge difference, and I preferred the increased aroma from the dry hopping in the last batch. Definitely fit the bill as a pale ale though, so mission accomplished.
