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.

Pours an amber hue with small white fizzy head. Aroma is of citrus and metal. This beer is probabally a little too cold for this style, but still tastes warm. Its just an eh.

Gold colored pale ale, strong hop aroma. The hops hit the back of your mouth and leave a nice after taste. The Berghoff Variety pack is a good buy to get to know their beers.

This is a nice looking beer. It is crisp looking and clean, honey colored with a small head that hangs on. First taste is bitter that lasts through the glass. There are some hops and sour citrus notes, also. Berghoff offers a 12 pack with 6 different flavors. I am finding that their beers are nice but not spectacular. The Pale Ale is another example.

12 oz bottle. Pours clear orange-y, not much head. Ordinary flavor. Ordinary beer.

Medium copper, clear, with a small, creamy, white head. Aromas in moderation reveal mild nuttiness, light citrus and slight roast. Mild flavor touches on citric hops with a grainy background. Thin and a little sour with bitters to finish. In a word, "Mild".

Had this one bottled. Hmm, a somewhat dissapointing pale. Clear dark orange color, not too much nose of note, taste is uninspired, with hops and apples quicky dissipating to nothingness. Skip it for the multitude of other better pales.

Dark Gold Coloring with White Skin. Light Aroma. Big Hop Hit Making for a Dry Mouthfeel.. Watery Overall. Not One of Their Better Ones.

pretty pour. gold hued amber body with a nice white head that laces. aroma, hmmm... i held this to my nose while watching a survivor rerun on OLN(i wanted hockey, oh how i wanted hockey) and i was not sure which brought a worse warning, the beer aroma or the shitty tv show. sour honey smell with something like a septic quality, but with cinnamon. sweet leathery flavor with some industrial cleaner. a lemony finish with some licorice. a lot of unpl;easant chemicals in this beast of a brew.
