COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The original Extra Pale Ale, this is the one that started it all. Our first brew was introduced in 1989 in Golden Gate style kegs. We have stayed true to our beginnings and still brew it the way we did back then. A bright golden hued ale with a medium body and a crisp spicy /floral hop character and very mild bitterness. This unfiltered ale has a pleasing mouth feel and remains our most popular brew. This beer goes with everything and every occasion.

Gold color, medium head. Mildly malted, mildly hopped pale ale. Light taste, nice flavor. Good malt to hop balance. Nice round mouthfeel. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Nice hazy yellow color. Full of carbonation with a nice thick head. The aroma and flavor was full of floral, apple, and bitter tones. Nice pale ale.

Not too bad, could use some more hops to make me really happy, but I’ll survive. Floral hops and a light citrus flavor were the largest tastes in this one.

Very nice pale ale, not to be confused with an IPA. Refreshing and clean, a very nice brew.

This beer poured a light gold color and formed a wonderful foamy white head that left some nice lace. Another one that reminds me of a float. A good amount of carbonation, which may account for that. Had a floral hop and malt aroma. Taste was of floral hops, some malt and a nice amount of citrus aspect which gave it a slightly tangy finish. I found this to be a very enjoyable beer for the summer.

Decent hop aroma. Some good bitterness with a hint of citrus and lots of malt. A very good Pale Ale.

My dad (who drinks hamms whenever possible) likes this beer, which is good, because we needed someone to drink it.

Extremely pale straw color. Reasonable hop presence, with some good hop flavor but there is a citric character that sours the beer. I can’t place it, but its really not worth the effort.
