Depot Street Depot Express Pale Ale

Draft sample at Knoxville Brew Jam. Poured a clear amber color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate sour citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body with a light slick texture. Medium bitter flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met by a good drinkable brew.

on draught. Nice rich amber hue with a thin, fading white head. There’s a little cherries and some bitter hops in the scent. It’s got a quite malty, floral body with a good distribution of spicy hops and a smoky, burned finish.

Orangey brownish, thin tan head. Peppery, citrusy aroma. Nice piney hop flavor, plus a touch of citrus.Nicely full bodied, lingering, dry finish.
