COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
UFO Pale Ale is our twist on a traditional British Pale Ale. It pours a vibrant amber color with a medium malt body and an assertive hop character throughout. This beer is well balanced, with grassy, flowery hop flavors and aromatics. Like the rest of our UFO beers we leave it UnFiltered for more natural taste, a soft, full mouthfeel, and a distinctive cloudy appearance. UFO Pale Ale is perfect for an autumn’s evening, a night out or just a change of pace. We hope you enjoy drinking it as much as we enjoy brewing it! Cheers!

Initially overwhelming soapy taste, which eventually faded a little. Boring finish, nothing lingering. Would not bother with again.

Yuck. Aroma of hops. Pours pale yellow with minimal foam. The taste is bitter and rather sour, with a hop flavor and slightly moldy taste. Will not try again....

Boliv (964) - New York, USA - NOV 17, 2011
Draught. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aromas of citrus and pine, with some sugary sweetness also. The flavor is fairly hoppy, with citrus hops upfront, and some sweeter caramel to balance things out. Pretty drinkable. A nice hop profile here. Good stuff. [886]

dnstone (1458) - Mons, BELGIUM - OCT 21, 2011
Beautiful hazed orange-copper with soft off-white head and decent lacing. Fairly hoppy floral aroma. Lightly floral hoppy taste. A great ale.

mar (3546) - Dallas, Texas, USA - OCT 20, 2011
Hazy amber with a thin cream head. Grassy hops, spices, earth, and light dough. Easy on the palate, flavor is bitter hops, dough, spices, and a bitter finish.

Suttree (3759) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - SEP 3, 2011
Cloudy orange, as you might expect. Well, the cloudy part, I mean. Pretty standard, I suppose - maybe a little hoppy for an EPA, but that’s not a problem. Nothing particularly special, but I enjoyed it. Pretty tasty session brew.
