Pale Ale - First tasting

I couldn’t take the suspense.  I had to crack open a pale ale and see how it was coming along.  It looks like a success!  I’m not looking for a new favorite brew or anything, as the ingredients seemed to me a bit on the light side.  I just want no off flavors.  The way this beer tasted tonight, I think this mission is accomplished.  It seems I kept the ickies away.

As for the beer, I only bottled it up late Friday night, or less than five days ago.  I popped the cap to a nice little hiss and poured slowly in order to leave the yeast sediment behind.  A nifty little white head built up a bit, but not too much.  The smell was pure light fruit and the taste was very light - a bit watery - with a small hop presence.  This will improve over time, but I doubt it will be anything I’d brew again.  It should be a very drinkable beer, but not a conversation piece.
