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.

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

in bottle. amber with a robust off-white head. good retention. acorn/butternut squash aroma. Tastes like a brown ale; lacks hop flavor. medum palate, a bit fizzy, and a bit thin at the end.

Thanks to Skyview for sharing. Brown pour with moderate foamy head. Nutty malt nose with some faint spice. Orange citrus and lots of carbonated but a little to sweet. No hop flavor at all.

After trying the Dirty Blonde brew from Falls Brewing, I was a little hessitant to try this one. Oh well, here goes nothing... Pours a hazy amber brew with an off white head. Aroma is orange peel in abundance. A very moist malty scent with a touch of spice. Taste is highly carbonated, some sourness and a bit flat. Finish is quite tart. C’mon guys! Add some hops to this. I could just see an advertisement with that old lady from Wendy’s TV commercials featuring her at some tavern bar counter, grabbing the bartender’s collar and shouting, "Where’s the HOPS?"
