COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Pale 31 is an ode to our home state of California—the 31st to be named in fact. Beer may not be associated with terroir the way wine is, but we believe that where we’re from impacts how our beers taste. This California Style Pale Ale represents the bold yet approachable spirit that embodies our state. A crisp floral hop aroma precedes a medium-body and clean finish.

oddaroma (129) - Texas, USA - MAY 18, 2013
Smooth with a mild bitterness bite. Not a bold IPA. Mellow California pale ale. Low alcohol content makes it prime for multiple tip-backs.

SlackerMads (523) - DENMARK - MAY 17, 2013
Bottle. Clear golden yellow with a medium sized good lacing white head. Powerful crisp pine and floral hops on the notes. Taste is more mellow but crisp and refreshing. Citrus, biscuit, floral, light pine, light caramel. Taste is light/medium sweet and bitter. Medium body, oily light watery texture, perfect soft carbonation that just tickles the tounge a bit. Ends light dry and bitter. I could get used to having this in the fridge.

Defreni (2045) - Husum, DENMARK - MAY 17, 2013
Flaske: Helt strågul klar øl. Fin duft af humle. Ekstrem drikbar og klassisk amerikansk. Heldig at løbe ind i den i Danmark. Gad godt prøve den helt frisk.

jmgreenuk (1278) - The Hague, NETHERLANDS - MAY 12, 2013
Bottle at the Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2013. Poured a clear yellow straw colour with a bubbly white head. The aroma is grassy and floral, leading to a medium bitter, fresh hoppy, grassy flavour. It tasted like the contents of my lawn mower box! A super beer. Can’t wait to try this again.

Sample at CBC 2013, Saturday. Clear golden with a medium white head. Fresh and nicely drinkable with hops, citrus, some malt, resin and caramel. A relaxed one, would love to have some bottles at home.

The head is medium, the body yellow and cloudy. It smells intensive hoppy, aromatic, sweet, citrus, lemon, refreshing. The taste is aromatic, hoppy a bit fruity. Ok but the aroma is much more interesting then the taste. 10/12/10/10/-/10
