Great Lakes Burning River Pale Ale

Brewed by Great Lakes Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Cleveland, Ohio USA

Clear orange color with no head. Heavy aroma with a touch of smoke. Nice IPA aroma that includes more than just sharp hops. Palate is well balanced and smooth. This is how IPA should be done.

Pours amber with a medium white inch tall head. Aroma is pine and citrus. Flavor is the same but backed up decently with malts. The palate is very creamy for an American Pale Ale with a nice bitter finish from those hops. Pretty tasty and refreshing on a nice warm 90 degree day. Overall a good pale ale! I’ll drink it again!

12oz bottle. Pleasant aroma of light citrusy hops and just enough caramel. Poured a clear light orange color. The head was clingy, white, and reduced over a minute or so to a thin film. Some lace was left behind on the glass at the end. Moderately bitter with a hint of sweetness up front that grew toward the end. Light to medium bodied with ample carbonation. Nice citrus and caramel flavors that followed the nose. Pretty tasty and better than I had expected.

Nice pour from a 12 oz bottle. orange copper color. Nice hop aroma. Not too heavy. Well balanced hopt to malt flavors. I’ve liked it since the first time I tried it at the microbrewers octoberfest at north pier in chicago many years ago.

Pours a clean and clear golden color with minimal white head. Has a strong hoppy aroma with some citrus hiding in the background. Flavor is hoppy with some malt and light citrus tones. Not very bitter, only a little during the finish. Has a thin, crisp mouth to it. A refreshing brew.

Pours amber with Lightish off white head with decent lacing. Aroma is malt and citrus. Nice balanced flavor.

Clear dark amber with a medium white head. Aroma of citrius and greens. Slightly spicy. Very well balanced, malts, very good beer.

Pale yellow with thin off-white head. Aromas of pine & citrus. Tastes of grapefruit & has a medium bitter hop burst finish, just a touch dry. Decent beer.
