Commercial Description:
Falls Hot Tail Ale would be respected on the streets of 19th century England. Maybe. Traditional in all respects. The warm copper color is the result of our use of pale malted barley, with small additions of caramel and biscuit malt. Falls Pale uses lower hopping rates than the American West Coast cousin to the English Pale. The result is what we consider a more widely accepted beverage. Only English hops are acceptable. A creamy tan, long lasting head rests atop. A great brew to drink while watching the Badgers trounce Ohio State. Also great with a burger and fries.

Tasted a lot better back in the day with more unappealing label. Pours a light copper colour , little head, evidence of soft citrusy hops, but not overly prevalent. lighter, slightly watered down. and dissapointing to say the least.

I am rating this higher than it deserves, mostly because of the label. Metallic and citrus acidity takes over before the bottle’s gone.

Looks fine, a clear copper body with a modest off-white head. The aroma is stale malt with an off sourness and some lemon zest. All continues through the flavor all the way to its odd metallic finish. No more, thank you.

Thanks to Brewfiend for sharing! Amber color. It had a soured malt aroma. I detected malt, metal, and lactose in the flavor. Followed up by a stale finish.

(bottle, Thanks Brewfiend) Pours dark amber with a small white head. Aroma was pretty weak, but what was there consisted of slight caramel with just a hint of hops. The flavor is terrible, with a grainy metallic finish that lingers far too long. Not one to ever be consumed again.
