1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottled. Whilst in Sydney, Aus.
Clear, golden body with a white lacy head. Skunky, wet cardboard aroma. Dull flavour to match. Can’t recommend this one.
1.6 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Barons Pale Ale has a thin, off-white head, and a cloudy, orange appearance, with tiny suspended particles floating throughout. The aroma and taste are of overripe, almost rotten, citrus fruit. There is also a flat cracker flavor in there, and a negligible hop profile. Mouth-feel is medium, and Barons finishes wet and unpleasant. This is not good, and I would never recommend giving it a try.

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: SEP 1, 2010 bottle. barely any hop character to this one. mixture of light stone fruit and light citrus, with some grassiness thrown in. a sub par pale ale
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Appearance- A nice golden color with a nice white head which dissapates quickly. Lacing is present but minimal.
Smell- Musty and bready
Taste- A nice refreshing, crisp clean taste. A slight off putting tin taste. Maybe the slightest hint of hops and malt sweetness is minimal.
Mouthfeel- Crisp, clean carbonated medium body.
Overall- Not a bad beer but not a great one either. Pretty average for a pale ale. I compare all Pale Ales to Sierra Nevada so it will fall short.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
330ml bottle. Pours a clear amber gold, with a minimal head. The aroma is full of rich nutty malt. The initial flavour is mainly floral and pine hops, followed by a hint of apple and some caramel malt. A good interpretation of the style.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bought this on a recommendation from a fellow home brewing club member. He thought the Sauvin hops were interesting. I have to agree. Unique beer. Watery feel with grapey aftertaste.
2.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
From a 330ml bottle on 3/1/2010. A rather lacklustre pale ale. No distinct nose, not particularly hoppy, and a bit too sweet. Not terrible but rather pedestrian.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle: Fiery golden, on the darker side, moderate to large frothy white head, nice lacing, very light carbonation. Muted nose, very slight hop aroma at all. Mainly cereal/mealy with a touch of cardboard.
This is barely a step up from the ESB in that it isn’t as cereal like but it also doesn’t have that much hop presense either. Not anything like your West Coast Pale Ale. Really muted, some honeycomb cereal flavors on the
finish. Has a bit of a sweet side that lingers. Average in terms of body and mouthfeel. Yeah, yawn...
