Clear orange light ale from bottle. Aroma fruits, berries, some nuts. Nice foamy head. balanced medium body with crispy carbonation. Medium bitterness. Not too hoppy finish gives a fruity aftertaste could be more fuller and more hoppy. Good ale anyways.

bottle - clear golden beer with a white head with tons of american hops aroma! Very nice! Flavour is malty what is balanced by a decent bitterness. But bitterness is not extreme. Medium carbonation.

On draught at a beer dinner at Monk’s Kettle. Crystal clear pale orange with great lacing. nice balance floral aroma and crisp flavor with medium mouthfeel. i love this pale ale.

The nose is floral/citrus hops. Color is golden/semi-transparent. Pale 31 is mildly/medium sweet which I personally prefer. The hops provide just the right amount of bitter to make this beer well balanced. Not a ton of carbonation or bitterness therefore smooth easy drinking. Overall a well built pale ale

Hands down my favorite pale ale. The Aroma is awesomely floral with pine and citrus. Appearance is nice and golden with slight white head retention and moderate lacing. The taste is sweet malt at first then transitions to a nice, bitter, piney hop. Medium body with medium carbonation. Overall this is a fantastic pale ale, nice flora hop aroma, with IPA like hop taste, but with only 4.8% abv. Very sessionable!

bottle beer that I put in a tulip glass. Dark straw in color with a fluffy white head that shrunk slowly. BIG grapefruit and orange nose accompanied by piney hop aromas. pleasing cracker and bread flavors from the malt are reminiscent of a pilsner. Medium body and carbonation. Bold flavors for what I consider a very easy drinking beer. I want to try using this in a beer mimosa sometime soon...

Firestone Walker Pale 31 sets the standard for American pale ales. The aroma has a sweet floral start and ends with grassy almost piney. The appearance is intense orange with hints of amber towards the rim of the glass. The taste starts with a sweet malt and finishes with a light bitter. This ale walks the line between an ipa and pale, it has the hop finish of an ipa but the subtle malt balance of a pale ale!

12 oz bottle in a 6 oz tasting glass. White head quickly disappears. Easy drinking with a light, crisp flavor. Noticeable hops but not overly bitter. Enjoyable.
