COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our flagship, this beer defines the classic, American-Style Pale Ale. We looked to the Pacific Northwest, rather than England, for our inspiration and our ingredients. Utilizing malt, hops, water, and most importantly yeast from the USA allowed us to create a balanced, highly drinkable beer. It’s no accident that the Carrabassett Pale Ale is our top-selling beer, year after year.

Another in the series of old beers from my parents' basement. Tickers gotta tick. This beer is definitely past it's prime. It's just a malty mess now. No hops left at all. Pours a golden orange color with no head. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

queenholly (1853) - South Whitley, Indiana, USA - MAY 6, 2012
Bottle. Light malt and orange aroma. Clear fizzy orange with a small off-white head. Watery grainy malt flavor... like a slightly better than average macro lager. Light carbonated body with a dry finish.

shrubber85 (5972) - Greenville, Indiana, USA - MAY 5, 2012
Bottle. Orange, cherry and hay malt aroma. Golden yellow color with small head. Sweet corn/barley malt flavor with hint of hay to finish. First ale I’ve ever had that tastes like a cheap lager (that wasn’t a cream ale).

Not a very memorable beer. Hops tasted flat, almost stale. Touch of sweetness was ok, but overall flat.

Svesse (5197) - Hässelby, SWEDEN - JUN 14, 2010
(Bottle, Monk’s Café Sveavägen, Stockholm) Amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of orange, apricots and caramel. Malty, fruity taste with orange, apricots, grainy malt and a touch of floral hops. Medium body, fairly sweet with low bitterness. Decent malt profile, but lacking some hops to give it something extra. Drinkable though.

12 oz. bottle. from the beer of the month club Pours an amber hue with a thin white head. First few sips taste mildly of hops, then becomes sweeter. Slight taste of toffee/malts. Hops return at the finish for some bitterness. Overall a drinkable ale. Looking forward to the next bottle.
