Commercial Description:
A hoppy, American-style pale ale made with Yakima Valley's best hops. Bittered with Chinook, while dry-hopped with the snappy flavor and bite of Cascade hops. For hopheads only!

I really enjoy this ale. For hopheads only? I don’t think so. Excellent fruity aroma and taste. Not bitter, nice aftertaste.

BJ’s Piranha Pale has a great head... a very cabonated pale amber color. Its aroma is sweet, its flavor pale and sweet, reminds me of a Sprite. A light trace of hops. A light body, but not watery. Tastes almost metallic. Alright, all in all. The bartender just brought out my fries. Awesome! Heavy, but sticky lacing. Not too bad of a mouthfeel.

7/21/08 On draught at the Tukwila, Wa Brewpub. Aroma is c-hop dominant with a low caramel balance. Appearance is clear gold with a well maintained cream colored head. Flavor is fairly sour citrus hops forward, well balanced by sweet malt. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a moderate carb texture. Overall, easy drinking, and just a little starchy.

2008 Tap. I’m not sure what makes an "American" pale ale, but this could pass as a decent IPA. The "bite" of the hops makes Piranha an appropriate name. Smells of hops and citrus. Looks cloudy orange with little head. Tastes of hops and wheat, very balanced palate. Worth a shot.

One of the better tastes in the 7 flight. I liked the citrus and pine in the aroma and flavor. It was a pretty good experience, despite a little thinness in the palate and a very slightly dirty taste.

Sunny, standard APA piney/grapefruit aroma. A weird mish-mash hoppiness. Seltzer-y. Lost between a blonde APA and... I’m not sure.
