Commercial Description:
Our Pale Ale is brewed with English style ales in mind, good caramel malt flavor paired with traditional English hop varieties produce a well rounded beer. Dry hopped with goldings hops delivers a floral hop aroma. The caramel malt is also responsible for the reddish-orange color.

Draft, at the bar. A solid Pale Ale, good hop character and none of the soapy taste often found in this style. Poured sonewht cloudy, though that’s not an issue with me (highly hopped beers in these environments are often cloudy). A bit more age on it may help the overall palate, but it’s damned good as it is. A solid beer.

Draft sample at brewpub. Pours copper with white head. Nose is floral hops and caramel. Good lacing for a draft sample. No wonder this is top rated. Great hop/malt balance, maybe a bit too sweet, but not really, hops are floral and slightly earthy. Great session beer. Would drink a lot of it.

A reddish colored pale ale? I honestly had to ask the bartender if I wasn’t served their Irish Red by mistake. The flavors were mild and the mouthfeel was on the thinner side of the spectrum. Carbonation wasn’t high enough for my tastes, and neither was the hop presence, although the aroma was originally leading me to believe differently. If you’re thinking that I wasn’t really impressed with this, you’d be correct. I’d still think I was served the Irish Red by mistake, but the barkeep gave me a sample and that was even more mundane.

Dark gold and clear. The hops were the first thing I noticed, but it is a Pale Ale and is true to style. The malt comes in well to balance and remain in the aftertaste.

Clear dark orange, creamy white head. Nose held notes of toasted caramel, light grapefruit and tangerine. Well balanced flavors of citrus and earthy hops that lie on a toasted caramel backbone. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, bittersweet finish. Quite drinkable...
