mgoy (263), Oak Brook, Illinois, USA Mar 2, 2008 Updated: Mar 29, 2008I sampled BBC Quarrymen Pale Ale on draft at Yogi’s in Bloomington. I enjoyed the nice head, but was hoping for a more flavorful or creamy finish. The taste was mossy and watery and the aroma was not special. BBB63 (3681), La Porte, Indiana, USA Sep 30, 2007 Tap at Nicks: Coppery hue with a small but lasting head and some lacde. The aroma has notes of grain, caramel, aromatic and slight piney hops, and some dusty yeast character. The taste is balanced between the sweeter malts and a light-handed bitters. Not much depth but drinkable. Will do in a pinch. Optigon (535), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Jul 20, 2007 Pours orange with a fine head. Sweet malt body with a clean hop finish. Lightly watery mouth feel, but not bad. EithCubes (1756), Indiana, USA Jun 2, 2007 Draught at the brewpub. Judging by past ratings, seems to have improved considerably over the years. Clear orange-amber pour, creamy white head. Sweet hoppy (Cascade) aroma. Bittersweet taste, finishes clean with a bit of a chalky feel, but only faintly. Lightly fruity. Classic pale ale taste! Medium body tastes much fuller than it is, aftertaste is dry and malty. Overall, a good session! DrunkenWeasel (218), Portland, Oregon, USA Dec 22, 2005 Pours cloudy pale yellow with a huge white head. Smells of yeast and slightly caramel malt and a little piney hop. Taste is too much like a belgian with heavy yeasty notes. Aftertaste is yeasty type of color that I dislike. Not that great.
