A little harsh at first, but a very clean, crisp, bitter taste. very nice indeed.

Geary’s Pale Ale is a very clear, very sparkling amber ale with a smooth, dense, yellowish cream that leaves outstanding lacing. The aroma is grainy, papery, medicinal and herbal, kind of like an Irish ale. It’s pretty light bodied, smooth and lively with a slightly watery finish. I taste light, toasty malt. The herbal hops are lightly bitter. It tastes like it smells with some added fruitiness. It’s similar to an Irish Red and makes for an acceptable session ale.

Bottle. Light to moderate aromas all around, with roasted for the malt, dried grass for the hops, and musty basement for the yeast, with wood, pepper and paper in the background. Head is large off-white with good lacing and is fully lasting. Color is slightly hazy yet sparkling with dense tiny bubbles, medium amber/orange. Flavor starts moderately acidic and finishes lightly acidic and bitter. Palate is on the lighter side of medium, watery with a lively to fizzy carbonation. A nice clean and crisp English Pale Ale made for drinking plenty.

Extremely fruit aroma as soon as the bottle was opened. Huge medium dense head. Powering alcohol scent up front in pint glass. Bright watery alcohol and fruits up front. The tiniest bit Of maple but alcohol persists too much to pick up other influences. Mild disappointment ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

I love english beers, and this is a good clone of an english beer. I love the fruitiness of the yeast.

355ml bottle from jsprime. deep orange with a lasting light tan head. laces real nice, perfect looking EPA. minimal nose, lightly hoppy, some mineraly tin. very simple flavour, light cara malts, balancing hops. interesting enough to enjoy and simple enough to drink in quantity. good.

355mL thanks to Travlr. The pour is a deep, clear red with a medium beige head leaving excellent, sheety lace. Nose is malt husk, soap. Taste is suddy, mild floral tones and orange juice. Palate is hydrogen peroxide.

Translucent copper with some white bubbles, Medium-light body with medium-high carbonation.

Aroma: fruity esters, leafy hops, some caramel, and a touch of acetone.

Taste: harsh hops -not bitter, just dry and thorny. Also some sour minerality and faint caramel malt.

Pours golden and dark with a thin head. Slight aromas of hops, caramel malts, and a bit of earth in there as well. The hops aren’t quite as strong as I’d prefer, but then it is an English Pale Ale and this lives up to it’s style. The flavor is a little watery but also has a decent hop character to it as well. Slightly dry hoppy finish.

Clear amber with a strong white head an moderate lacing. Caramel and doughy bread aroma. Slight citrus hops highlights peek through the bready malts on the tongue. Medium body, nice ticklish carbonation, and the rich maltiness lingers. Extra points for the lobster on the label.

355ml bottle. Amber colour. Caramel malt aroma. Taste is much the same malty sweetness with some hops bitterness. Body makes it very easy drinking.
