Henry Weinhards Blue Boar Pale Ale

Brewed by Full Sail Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Hood River, Oregon USA

Only a momentary pang of some distant resemblance of hops separates this beer from the Weinhard hefeweizen, private reserve, or blonde. They’re all nearly identical, and just not very good. You get what you pay for though I suppose.

2008 Bottle - Pours a yellowish with a small white head...smells like old grass clippings, flavour isn’t too bad, nice bitterness keeps you from thinking its a busch light, but far from good...not bad for the price...

This beer tastes how bad weed smells. Absolutely repellent in every single way.

Not a noteworthy pale. Seems watered down and the hops taste like the pit of a peach. It’s okay.. Just okay.

Bought and drunk only for a friend. Slightly better than most domestics, but only slight. Pale, bland.

This clear golden beer poured with a thin white head and a thin hoppy aroma. It is a very plain ale with light hopping and a decent malt base.

Not too bad for an American Pale Ale. Flavors were smooth and crisp. Certainly not out of this world. No distinct flavor on the palate. Tried in Camas, WA, in the bottle.

At first, the olfactory is a little acrid on the twist off but that clears to a nice sweet beery smell once poured. Color is just a tad more orange than the ubiquitous pale yellow beer. A little bite on the first taste bud impact but it mellows as the session goes on. Finish is rather gentle, almost like a lager. Not bad. Perhaps even sessionable with it’s lower alky level. I usually don’t care much for APA, but this is not offensive to say the least. Big thanks goes out to riversideAK for a chance to rate this not so local brew!
