Gearys Pale Ale

Brewed by D.L. Gearys Brewing Co.
Style: English Pale Ale
Portland, Maine USA

Serve in English pint, Shaker

Dark amber hued beer and a beige foam top. The beer has great lacing and active carbonation. A malty aroma with caramel or butterscotch and apple scent. I did notice a particular hop aroma. The taste has equal showing of malt and hops, but not outstanding in either direction. The flavor is rich and the palate is even bodied but full. This pale ale is more what an Irish Red should strive to be.

In the bottle: not a bad English Pale from the US, a bit on the sweet and malty side,

Rich amber color; Medium body; Aroma of malt, caramel, light hops, & some fruit; Flavor of malt, pine hops, caramel, and citrus; Finish is slightly bitter; Decent overall.

Bottle$ pours a ran browm color. Fading head. Smells of maple, malt and berley wheat. Taste is more carmel them it looks. Not bad

A clear dark amber color with a lot of head. Actually I poured it too fast and it was mostly foam and it took awhile for it to come down. Has a hint of crispy apple aroma. The taste also has a mild fruity taste with some bitterness. Definitely has that English Pale Ale taste that I know, which isn’t bad. A worthy example of this style of Ale.

Aroma: This one has a light hop and caramel nose
Appearance: It pours a clear caramel color
Flavor: Similar to the nose with a lingering slightly metallic bitterness
Palate: The mouthfeel isn’t great, fairly light body, some diacetyl
Overall Impression: You won’t be particularly impressed by this one. The flavor is alright, nothing special in the style, and it is slightly off texture-wise. It is on the low end of decent.

Dark deep amber pour with ring of tan head. Sweet aroma Very spicy and red apple hops. Semi bitter fruity finish. Didn’t really care for this one

On tap. Light "beer" aroma. Dark gold with and off white head that dissapates quickly. Pleasing hop blend fads to a toasty malt flavor. Mouth feel is lightly sticky and typical for a malty beer. This beer is very easy to drink and goes well with most "pub" fare.
