Commercial Description:
Airdale Altitude, brewed within the style parameters commonly known as American Strong Pale ale, has a lightly sweet, malty flavor, balanced by the aroma of hops. This beer also has an aggressive fruity-hop flavor on the finish as it is strengthened through dry hopping, which is so characteristic of amber ales. It is light to medium in body and amber-red in color. Pale Ales are one of the most popular of traditional British beer styles being produced by craft breweries in the United States. Airdale Altitude is a beer that is both satisfying to the experienced ale drinker and yet not too overpowering as to frighten off the newcomer.

On-tap at PP C’Bad. Pours clearish orange amber with a medium sized white head, spider web lace. Smells subdued with some crisp, cereal malts and some faint earthy hops. Tastes cereal malty, pretty crisp and dry. WIth a slight backbone of green, earthy hops. Hops are slightly caramelly as well. Not bad, kind of plain. Medium body, crisp carbonation.

On tap at PP Carlsbad location; it is now called Altitude. Aroma of yeast, orange and spice. Flavor was floral, biscuit and some light fruit/citrus undertones. Couldn’t even figure out the style with this one, but did guess it was a Pale Ale. Solid, if not spectacular.
