3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 womencantsail (6896) - Garbage Grove, California, USA - APR 2, 2011
A: The pour is a slightly hazed golden orange color with a finger or two of white had.
S: Nice citrus hop aromas followed by a definite pine character. The piney hops are incredibly oily and resinous which you don’t often find in a pale ale. Some moderate malt notes of bread and biscuit malts.
T: A nice flavor, but not quite as good as the nose. Not as much citrus and the pine is not as intense either. More toward the bready malt side of things with some grapefruit peel adding additional bitterness and maybe some floral notes.
M: Medium in body with the carbonation on the high end of medium.
O: Pretty decent pale ale, though it’s a bit too bitter without a ton of hop flavor.
