3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
One of the few classic beers which has not diminished in palate or aroma. Pours light gold, with a distinct flavor of malt and vanilla. Very smooth aftertaste good with anything
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A very plesant beer. This wasn’t mind blowing but everything was slightly better than I expected culminating in a very good beer, one of the better sessions. A doughy aroma, and a citrus flavor dominate the senses. But there was more to be had in this beer, a slightly bitter/sour finish was an unexpected touch as was the gentle caramel flavor in a blonde.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
As always, excellent quality of product from Alaskan Brewing. Light bready and sweet maltiness that lingers in the mouth and the nose. Flavorful yet easy to drink as a session beer. I’d say the malt/hop balance is perfect, I want the recipe! ;)
3.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Poured pale amber, almost like a pilsener, with a white head. Not much aroma, but what there is is a nice maltiness. Light malty body with a naartjie note. Dry hop finish. This is low enough in alcohol to be a session beer, or to have at lunch before going back to work.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bready maltiness with some grassy hop notes. There is a bit of a honey like sweetness, but overall just a really basic beer, that is almost like not drinking a beer at all. Not filling in the slightest.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a transparent deep golden bronze with a spotty, wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly toasted pale malts with a touch of grapefruity hops. Body starts with good malty sweetness well-balanced with a fresh piny hoppiness toward a slightly drier, crisp bittersweet finish. A pretty good APA.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 oz bottle-trade w/snojerk321-clear yellow color w/a slight white head. Had good lacing. Faint hop aroma. Bitter, grassy flavor w/traces of hops & pine. Kind of basic really. Nothing special, nothing terrible. Really too bitter to be a session brew.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pretty much your average, run of the mill golden pale ale. 12oz bottle. Pours a light, pale golden yellow, nose of citrus fruits, spice and hops.
