3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the brewpub. Not sure if this is the same pale ale I had at the brewpub based on all the low ratings I see here. The one I had was closer to an IPA in taste and character and was an overall great beer.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Can@WSF09. Grassy aroma. Pale yellow colour, off-white head, good lace. Sweet, bitter, citric, citrus, floral, grassy, bit soapy. Sticky and a little dry mouth feel.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tap at the 21A. Pours a translucent amber with golden notes and a medium white head that laced. Aroma of light citrusy and floral notes, light caramel and bready malt. Flavor of the same with light metallic notes.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft at brewpub: once again, very similar structure to the IPA. Typical PNW hop notes, caramel, medium to light body, quite drinkable. Solid.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On draught in San Fran September 2006: Light orange color, small head on top. Fruity nose. Flowery taste, an herbal kick in the finish. Medium lasting.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Light hoppy aroma. Flavor is more malty. Mild bitterness. A bit on the bland side. Not impressive.
1.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle pours a slightly hazy amber. Some bitter malt aroma. Some woody malt flavor but not good bitterness. Just not good.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Floral hop nose, pale amber color, clingy head. Light toasted malt body, late arriving but full hop taste with a high resolution bitter. Good hop flavor.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Flavor is some floral cascade hops and a bit of malt. Much like SNPA, but with some more caramel. Even balance between cascade hops and malt. A little dull, doesn’t excite and it’s nothing new. Makes me feel tired of cascades. I’d like to see more originality.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On draft at brewpub. Slightly hazed medium amber with a small off-white head. Pleasant aroma, leading with floral and citrus hops, balanced by toasty malts. Stongly bitter flavor, again citrus hops leading and a bit out of balance with the thin malt backbone, lemon zest in the finish leaving an astringent, drying sensation in the mouth. Medium body and crispy carbonation.
