RJ Rockers Patriot Pale Ale

This is an American Pale Ale. It has the classic citrus hop flavor and aroma profile that one would expect as well as the grapefruit like bitterness. I enjoyed this APA quite a bit, but my one critique is that it seemed to have some grain in it that to me comes off as sweet. It also looks darker than a lot of APA's I've had, which probably comes from said specialty grain. I can't pinpoint the flavor, but I've also tasted it in other beers and to me it subtracts from the overall appeal of this beer. I'm sure it's delicious to someone else's palate, but to me, this was just okay. I'd drink it over a lot of other beers, but it's not quite top shelf for me.
