Erie Brewing Mad Anthonys Pale Ale

Brewed by Erie Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Erie, Pennsylvania USA

12 oz bottle, D’s 6-pack Pittsburgh PA. Pours a slightly murky dark copper body under a smallish foamy off-white head that left some spotty lacing. Aroma isn’t the most pleasant, sort of a garbagy smell with undertones of doughy pale malts. Flavor is thin and uninspiring up front with a bland bready and yeasty finish. Very watery front to back. Mouthfeel is thin, watery, and has moderate fizzy carbonation. I had no idea what style this was when I drank this. This was boring and terrible, and I feel like I was cheated for wasting money on this.

Far better than the railbender, but still not that great. Just a regular ale. Crisp and clean with some straw and grass. Bland finish with minimal hops.

I liked this better than the Railbender. Flavor is a little bit of grass, a little bit of hops, well balanced, but fairly uninteresting. Comes off crisp and clean.

Yeasty beery aroma fills my glass steeler mug. Pours almost transparent, with a slight haze, that has the color of light brown brownish orange (11000). This is from Erie brewing, they are underrated and have some very unique beers that you should try. This is a 12 oz bottle and surprisingly has a description on it. Cool painting of Mad Anthony, do you know why he was called mad? Many Erie brews leave you wondering what you have until you see the style on this site. Has a hoppy hint of bitterness on the beginning of my drink. Relatively nice creamy carbonation that can be enjoyed. This is another amber ale, the last ones I tasted were Mendocino red tail and GD amber ridge. Amber ridge was not quite as bitter and this brew is not as bitter as red tail, therefore a little more enjoyable. Finish is not too harsh but there is a little linger in there typical of most ales and it don’t last too long. It is not long lasting or tongue sticking like red tail. This is creamy but I think ridgeline had more creamyness in the carbonation.

Very nice hop aroma and good looking beer with good lacing, flavor is of some caramel malt, but hop bitterness is dominant. A clean taste and neutral yeast makes this beer a decent attempt..

Dark orange pour with a white creamy lace. Aroma is weak and slightly spicy. Flavor is spicy and sweet.

Bottle - from sampler pack. Cloudy, and a bit light for an amber. Pretty good - full flavored but easy drinking.

Bottle from Pat’s. Copper pour with minimal off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt, some slight vinous fruit and hops. Medium palate heft, with initial and continued caramel malt, with slight hops and cabernet wisps at mid-palate. Decent.
