Erie Brewing Mad Anthonys Pale Ale

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

Copper color with a small off-white head, very little lacing around the glass, not much in the nose except for a slight touch of caramel malt, medium body, very smooth & drinkable, malt dominates the favors with a subtle but rich & creamy taste, a good mix of grassy hops are noted for balance, again mostly a malty finish with a touch of caramel & tang, a pretty average beer, but very drinkable & enjoyable

This ale poured a light orange colour with a frothy white head. To the nose orange/grapefruit citrus, dough and a little but of floral notes. First taste is a smooth hoppy flavour with a bitter finish. More citrus to the palate. Hops linger.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a slightly hazy light amber with a thin head that disappeared after a few sips. Light but pleasant aroma of caramel. The flavor sweet with caramel and malt noted. Very little hops detected except for a slight bitterness at the finish. Smooth, albeit a touch thin. I really had no problems with this beer, but I don’t think it was worth the $8.99/ six pack I paid for it. I’ll put the rest in the cooler for Thanksgiving.

Light copper. Nose is slight orange, some caramel maltiness. Flavor is caramel, tea. Almost too bitter. Slightly bready finish.

Pours really light for an amber. Taste is metallic and grainy. Hops are decent, but the rest is average.

12 oz. single for $1.50 from From the Vine in Lewis Center, OH. Pours red-orange with a small, barely off-white, slightly frothy head; head disappears rather quickly but can be resurrected briefly with some swirling. Lovely sweet, fruity, floral aroma with hops and a hint of caramel. Flavor is sharply sweet up front but not very distinguished; nondescript malts in the front with a little caramel and a fairly short, bitter hop finish. Medium body. A nice session beer and certainly not offensive.

12oz bottle pours amber with a short offwhite head that doesn’t stay long but laces a little aromas of light caramel and brief hops. Flavors of caramel, yeast, and light hops on the finish. Big flavor upfront but not a whole bunch there overall. Decent though but pretty average overall..

Light orange/amber color with a small beige head. Weak aroma of caramel and hops. Flavor of some caramel malt and hops, but it has a nasty bitterness.
