3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Two bottles. Nice sweaty American hops in the nose, a little soapy with caramel and a smidgen of resin. Highly-carbonated pale orange body with a soapy beige head. Taste is bitter and bready (and finishes similarly) with dark citrus and light caramel, white grape with some faint apricot. Strongly, pleasantly crisp bite throughout. Medium-light body. Good session APA – easy-drinking and enjoyable.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Another offering from the 12 pack sampler I purchased.
Poured a murky dark gold in color. Plenty of spotty lacing left on the sides of the glass.
Smell is mostly balanced with the hops and malts working together. There is a bit of spice coming from the hops. Taste is refreshing, carbonated and smooth.
Very easy drinking pale, but not interesting enough to warrant trying again.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Draft. Really nice beer. Great hop aroma and flavor. Nice citrus tones. This is a pale that make you want to have another.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle, thanks to mreusch! Pours clear dark gold with a thick pale yellow head. Light aroma, mostly citrus. Medium body and carbonation. The citrus and toffee come through more in the taste. Dry hoppy finish. Not a bad example of the style.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12 oz bottle. Pours hazy brass color with fizzy off-white head. The aroma is orange, some iced tea, melon, and a faint herbal note. Flavor is some citrus and herbal hop bitterness, with a carbonic sourness and a somewhat strange dusty, caramelly finish. Dark caramel lingers in my mouth for quite a while after. Ok.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Hoppy, with a decent malt finish to balance. This is nothing special for a pale ale, there are many better examples out there.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Soapy looking head and cloudy honey in color. Very easy drinking. Slightly musky yeasty aroma but its faint enough to be able to ignore. Clean hoppy flavor thats not overpowering and lends itself to the easy drinking quality. Overall, not the most complex beer out there but this could be a good session beer. Nice!
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Hazy amber pour with dissapearing spotty white head. Some caramel malt in the nose. Not overly floral, but definitely has a hop profile. Fairly decent pale ale.
