Berghoff Pale Ale

Brewed by Minhas Craft Brewery
Style: American Pale Ale
Monroe, Wisconsin USA

Serve in Lager glass, Shaker

No head, clear amber. hoppy nose, with some bready malts in the back. Thin on the tongue. Taste is very uncomplex, but the beer itself is drinkable, not really offensive, but not really good either. Very middle of the road, but cheap.

head to head with Schell Pale ale nice dark golden color, no head worth mentioning, Aroma is of slight hops and led me to underestimate the hoppiness in store for me in the flavor. Way too hoppy flavor, kind of a syrupy sort of beer, reminded me of Mojo in its overpowering piney hops flavor. Kind find it hard to drink, but this is not really my style

Decent, I like this beer because it was good with penuts. The taste was simple and a bit watered down but the aroma was very strong. hard to tell

Regarding Falconseye’s comments about the packaging, Berghoff has all new packaging and labels. This pale ale is to style, but a little on the thin side. It is nicely balnced but watery overall. If you need to get a friend into better beer this is a great stepping stone!

My first beer from my trade with John Aka JPDIPSO. Berghoff packaging is a little different for this beer in my area. I like this labelling better makes it look like a quality beer. Very tasty, nice hops good malt and a classic APA flavor. While its not an elite Pale Ale its very nice. At 4.50 a six in KC if the budget gets tight this is a fine thirst quencher. Its probably not going to make anybody’s top 10 but its a good effort and is not a skunky beer.

Head starts nice but big bubbles quickly fade leaving a weird scattered coating. Crisp amber colour. Real hops give this the best aroma of the Berghoffs thus far but too soon it sinks back into the glass. Nice take on the style. Medium bitterness in the finish. Sharp sour hop taste. Not overpowering. Malt backing. A bit of a metallic texture and presence.

Nothing special about this beer, but good. For those of you not famuliar, Berghoff makes beers that are good - not bad, not great. Good for picking up a 6er on a nice summer day to enjoy.

pours a medium orange color with a fairly small off white head. sweet malty aroma with certain carmel scents coming through. light body with a hoppy start and sweet malty towards the end...an average pale ale.
