No out of the ordinary pale ale but well rounded and balanced and easy going. Solid quaffer ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

From Lobethal 330 ML bottle Dark orange amber color, half finger of off white head. Some lacing. Good head retention. Good caramel backbone with orange and grapefruit notes in nose and taste. Bitterness is more in the back of the palate. more syrupy orange and caramel in the front. Not a bad beer by any stretch.

330ml bottle from Micro beer club. Lovely reddish brown colour with a beige head. Nice citrus aromas. A very nice beer. A good version of an american pale ale.

330mL bottle bought online from brewery although i think this is a different recipe as the bottle reads 5.6% abv, bottled nov 2011. As i cracked this bottle there was alot of gas so i poured this very carefully although the fizz overwhelmed by glass and as i right this the head is still slowly increasing after several minutes. After a turbid start the aroma is a nice sweet citrus and honey?? Also a very nice flavour to this beer heavy hops for a pale ale with spicy/citrus notes and also a nice toffee malt backing. This beer has been well crafted its just a pitty i had to leave it for 5 mins before i drank it to get rid of the excessive carbonation.

I don’t know if it is fair to rate a bottle found back of the cupboard 18 months after bottling. Normally I would say no, but in this case yes, because it has certainly gone the distance. Pout is ruby brown with white head, spipcy plum pudding aroma. The flavour is complex, biscuity, spicy with some brown sugar and slight bitterness at the end. I wouldn’t normally recommend letting a beer go this long, but in the case of the Lobethal Pale Ale I would say there is lots of room to be pleasantly surprised.

From a 330ml bottle on 12/8/2011 (Batch No PA-15, bottled June 2011). Pours a light amber with little head. Has a strong and pleasant fruity, perfumey aroma. In the mouth, it’s got lots of sweet stone fruit , a dash of biscuity malt, some honey, and a good dose of citrus bitterness at the back. A very nice, well balanced pale.

Bottle 330ml. Great beer. Aromas of caramel, cherries, and pine. Taste starts sweet, with bitterness gently taking over. Palate is velvety, and medium bodied. Dark amber, with a frothy head.

Tap. Quite a dark amber for the style with a small beige head. Aroma of nectarines, caramel, pine and kumquats. Creamy texture with a little too much fizz. Taste has some sweetish caramel with touches of stone fruits followed by a firm bitter finish. Good sessionable beer that’s not polished but is balanced.

Reddish brown colour with minimal head. Hops and currant (fruit of some kind) on the aroma. Creamy, oaky, sour taste. Actually quite nice.

Purplish sweet and estery... not what I would call a pale ale at all!! Still pretty nice though a little too sweet for me. More like a korbinian??
