COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Berghoff Pale Ale is created in the classic American style. It is light copper-colored and medium bodied with a light maltiness. High quality American hops are used to produce this high hop bitterness, flavor and aroma, a must have for true hop aficionados!!! Berghoff Pale Ale is made with Brewer's 2-row Malt, Carapils Malt and domestsic hops.

Hazy, light amber pour, voluminous off white head that leaves a significant, almost chunky lacing. Aroma is yeasty must and dust with a bit of skunk, quickly fading to nothing. Flavor has a decided hops bitterness to it, but a very slight grapefruit-hops aromatic quality. Malts are lightly caramelized, and also somewhat stale, rubbery quality in the linger. Thin to medium body, the hops an alcohol combine in a nice zest on the palate.

Eh, OK. Drinkable, but nothing stands out here. Standard flavors, light body.

esjaygee (2496) - Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA - APR 25, 2009
Hazy amber with a rocky taupe head. Aroma of floral and citrus hops and some caramel to boot. Body is a little gritty and oily and has some caramel, citrus and vegetal tastes. Finishes up dry to awful with a lifeless mild bitter finish.

Pours golden orange with a foamy white head. Aroma is slightly skunked, mild hop pepper below the honey sweet base. Flavor begins sweet, cardboard malt toast notes give way to some citric fruit (lemon rinds), followed by a seemingly artificial bitterness which is not very pleasant.

Block (850) - West Lafayette, Indiana, USA - MAR 28, 2009
Golden yellow pour with a small white head. Aroma is sweet of malts, light fruits, and some hops. Flavor is also fairly light with some honey and caramel. Slight hop at the finish.

unclemike (1363) - Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA - MAR 1, 2009
Light amber color with very little carbonation and no head. Lager like aroma with some hoppyness in the background. Watery mouthfeel. Ample hop bitterness but not real sure what hops are in the flavor. Kind of like accidentaly tasting some hairspray. Goes down easy like the other Berghoff beers. Right for the price

I was expecting it to be a little less hoppy but it was nice this way. Pours an clear orange colour with a medium sized head. Aroma is slightly fruity, citrus character, aroma of soft hops and floral notes. Taste is pleasent, astringent and clean with decent hop flavor.
