Commercial Description:
When the British introduced draught pale ale to America, the Pipe Organ Pale Ale is what they had intended. It is truly British in character. Brewed with pale ale malt and a touch of caramel malt, it has a light copper color and subtle body. The maltiness is carefully balanced with only the best English hops - East Kent Goldings. Although this beer has a fair amount of hops, the caramel maltiness perfectly balances its profile.

Draft at brewpub. Light amber body, slight hops in nose, smallish head. Slightly fruity, slightly herbal/spicy, some bready notes, decent.

Received 12-oz bottle via Secret Santa. Pours a semi-clear caramel amber colored brew with a fast dissolving off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt, a hint of cardboard, biscuits, sweet herbs and dry hops. Taste is medium bodied, flavors of dry biscuits, a touch of basement cellar/cardboard, clove, a touch of wintergreen and grassy hops. Finish is semi-dry, a hint of pumpernickel, dried fruit and mild bitterness.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a copper color with a medium white head. A odd herbal aroma, light hops. The flavor is very odd; herbal hops, seaweed and salty, fruity. Not sure what to make of it. OK.

Pours a somewhat lively clear copper with a tiny head with big bubbles... Aroma is bready with subtle spice, and faint hops.. Flavor is somewhat spicy, with a mild hops underneath the bready malts... Not a bad english pale, but certainly not the american pale i thought i was getting...

Sample at CBW. Pours clear copper with a medium off-white head. Malty aroma with some spicy hop and quite a bit of pineapple character. Read a lot of ratings about beers that have pineapple notes in aroma and flavor, but this is the first time I’ve experienced it. Flavor is dank malt along with pineapple and a grassy bitter finish. I liked this beer, but have to wonder if it tastes like this all the time or if it was just a fluke.

Tap @ brewpub: Dark copper color with a roasted candy aroma? Butter flavors as well as non-sweet butterscotch. It has a mildly bitter finish which quickly dissipates. As far as generally following the idea of an English Pale, it does a pretty good job.

Draft at the Church. Very floral aroma. Light copper colored with minimal head. Floral hops balanced with malty sweetness in flavor. Hops were delicate and not overpowering, but floral note was very obvious.

On tap in Church - Poured a caramel color with small white head, some lacing. Roasted bitterness up front. Malt and slight grain texture with a hop bitterness throughout. Middle of the road so far but enjoying my surroundings in the brewery.

brewed in the USA...... On tap at the Brew Works !!! Pours a lite amber color with a small white head. Aroma of grass, earth hops, citrus and malts. Taste of caramel, grass, malts and floarl notes. Mouthfeel is very dry, with some metallic notes in the finish. Not bad, average at best.
