City Pale Ale

Pours a bright, clear copper colour with a full white floral head. Aroma is of soft pine and citrus, taste is light, refreshing and full citrusy character.

Picked up a single 12-oz bottle at Flanagan’s in Appleton, Wisconsin. Pours a semi-clear orange amber brew with a thin, creamy white head that quickly dissipates to a thin ring. Aroma of caramel malt, a touch of citrus zest a touch of spice and white pepper. Taste has a mild pear and fruity flavor, plenty of carbonation, some caramel malt and a touch of tangerine. Finish has a mild bitterness and a semi-sweet fruity malt afteraste that quickly disappears.

First of all, this beer is highly under rated. Not a great beer in any sense, but not deserving of the terrible ratings. True, it has a lot of maltiness, but the hops do shine through. For that price, a very drinkable beer.

Has an almost chocolate malt yeasty aroma when you pop the lid. Slightly darker than the typical pale yellow american beer, just a little more orange. Mild pale ale annoying hop refined impressions. A little processed on the palate. Cerrtainly more offensive than most lagers. Could use a little more carbonation. Reminds me a bit of Big City Ice and City Lager. Has that same background flavor overtaking the palate. Malty alky presence is almost in your face. Not too civilized. Short length bitter hop malt back of throat taste hangs for a while. Like many annoying pale ales.

12oz bottle from variety pack. wow talk about bitter aftertaste. I dont like PA’s so this does Nothing at all for me.
