COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Dogwood Pale Ale is an English-style pale ale, well attenuated with fruity, estery overtones. A blending of three hop varieties in three separate additions provides a clean bitterness. Whole leaf Cascade hops are added directly into the fermentation tank called "dry-hopping" in order to achieve a floral aroma. It is naturally carbonated for a smooth finish.

This brew poured a medium sized head of wite colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a carbonated transparent dark yellow colored body and a fair lace. Its aroma was malty with hops and a mild orange note while the mouthfeel was tingly and finished with a medium strength hop bite. The flavor was mild for an EPA with a weak hop bite and a mild bitterness.

On tap at Summits wayside Tavern-POured nicely golden with a neat head seated atop...Nose was slightly floral with some hops..Taste was very sour...perhaps the lines were dirty but not usually the case here...maybe I just don't like it

Somewhat hoppy for a pale ale, but not in comparison to some west coast pale ales (such as sierra nevada). Their IPA is much better (when it's good). Consistency doesn't seem to be an issue with the pale ale as much as with some of dogwood's other brews. Maybe just because it doesn't have any 'extreme' flavours.

(Bottle) Light hazy amber body with small beige head. Aroma is sweet, butterscotch, light citric. Taste is medium sweet, earthy and light citric, some floral butterscotch in the finish. Light-medium body.

Light amber with a head that pours small and stays small. A good balance of hops and malt, defintely a respectable pale ale. Pretty much middle of the road for the style... a definite drinkable beer. In the georgia area this beer is easy to find and thus highly recommended, but it's a little too so-so to seek it out in any quanity outside of the state. A good pale ale however... recommended.

CaptainCougar (6747) - Boz Scaggsville, Maryland, USA - NOV 15, 2003
Pours a lightly hazy golden with plenty of carbonation and a big puffy white head. Fresh hoppy and fruity aroma. Mildly sweet and hoppy, but nothing spectacular. Dry grainy notes as well. Smooth and drinkable, but dull.

BBB63 (4939) - La Porte, Indiana, USA - OCT 27, 2003
Thanks Mabdoney. Slightly hazy golden hue with fizzy white head and some lace. Very floral aroma of aromatic and dry hops, toasted malt, biscuit, light citrus and yeast. Lively and clean mouthfeel leds to a nice bitter and malty balance, not overdone. Undertone of lemon and orange with a dash of yeast twang. A refreshing session ale, nothing great but easy to drink.

Indra (2323) - Overland Park, Kansas, USA - SEP 30, 2003
Fruity, flowery hop aroma, some citrusy notes, with just a touch of malt sweetness. Light golden amber color, partially opaque, bottle-conditioned. Citrusy and lightly sweet flavor, with a good dosage of fruity hop flavor and bitterness. Medium bodied, with a smooth, lightly effervescent palate with a high degree of drinkability.
